DVD recording of Knoppix 5.3.1

[Count Of Dracula]

Hello,

What program people prefer to burn DVD on Windows? I tried burn
Knoppix DVD using Nero and k3b on Linux but I am getting only coaster.
File size of Knoppix DVD 5.3.1 is 4.14GB. Can this be a problem?


Thanks

I use www.Imgburn.com on my wife's machine.
It is free to use. It's meant to use with iso files. So that
eliminates alot of problems that stem from people copying the file to
the dvd instead recreating a dvd from an iso image file.

I would also try lowering your burn speeds if imgburn leaves you a
coaster when used on Auto for speed selection. (4x in Dvd is not the
same as 4x in cdr. On a regular old machine AMD 2400+ I restrict burns
to 2.4 or 2x with dvds.)

Also you can try using different media. +R -R depending on the drive you have.
I have an old Pioneer 106D (I think that's what it is...) that could
burn to media but could not read what it just burned. I then stuck
that disk in another drive, a LiteOn ,and it was seen by the drive! So
without knowing more about what kind of failure you are having... I'd
say to use imgburn... and if slowing it down doesn't work, and you
have checked the md5sum of the iso file... checked the drive cable
etc, different media is about all that is left. I'd google your drive
model, and find the best media for it. If it works best with +R, then
get some Verbatim +R. (I did for my... best with +R drives.)

What drive do you have?

I never had a problem with Nero in all my years using computer. I am
using copy iso image directly. Is it different from what you are
suggesting?  I will surely look at Imgburn.

I tried burning at lowest possible speed 1x. No joy.

DVD image is fine. I can boot using Virtual Box. I ran testdvd and it passed.

I am using media from Sony. It is DVD +R .One strange thing is till
late last version of Knoppix 5.3.1 I was able to copy iso image on
DVD+RW without issue. I am using HP NX 6325 to burn DVD. Not sure
about brand of DVD writer. I did try burning using k3b on Linux
desktop. In this case DVD write was LG. But as I said I never had a
problem burning DVD in past. I have a hunch that size may be the
problem.

Thanks
