The correct setting in/etc/vdr/plugins/plugin.burn.conf is --iso=/mnt/your/video/iso
chown vdr:vdr is needed on this directory as well as every subdirectory and menu-bg.png below /var/lib/vdr/plugins/burn/skins, as is usermod -a -G cdrom vdr to avoid the errors as in http://de.pastebin.ca/1361397 due to the bug documented above on 2008-08-15: vdr-plugin-burn (0.1.0~pre21-28) experimental; urgency=low * Now really use vdr-groups.sh to add vdr to the group 'cdrom' And this is it. :-) Applying everything from the last three posts I can report the present bug can be fixed this way for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Hardy Heron. Further recommendations are setting NICE for anything but the actual DVD writing, and to avoid the pipe+tee method of "burning on the fly" (cf. http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?postid=452471#post452471) in favor of writing the image first, then only after ISO completion burning the DVD from it. Remaining issues in the menu/title generation that will presumably have to be fixed from upstream are a text size issue overwriting the right- hand borders (regression to what had already been fixed in burn-0.0.10, cf. http://vdrportal.de/board/thread.php?postid=452730#post452730), and an apparent UTF-8 incompatibility causing German diacritics (Umlaut, sz ligature) to be rendered improperly. -- vdr-plugin-burn depends on non-existent packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
