Grmbl. Sorry for the delay in the version 0.20 you guys, it's coming but my iMac died on my a couple of weeks back... So ... I decided to go wild and order myself a shiny MBP.. which arrived yesterday.

So, of course I decided to test my own little iBurn with 10.4.9, just to see if everything still worked.

And.. it does.. kinda.. Let me tell you what happened.

I hooked up my trusty external USB2 Pioneer 112D, and tried to burn a backup of a 360 game. Bam.. 'Recording finished'.. way too fast.. So I tried it with the old commandline tool :


computer-van-idog:~ idog$ /Applications/iBurn360.app/Contents/Resources/growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/rdisk2=/Volumes/IomegaHDD/mybackups/GOW.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=/Volumes/IomegaHDD/mybackups/GOW.iso of=/dev/rdisk2 obs=32k seek=0'
/dev/rdisk2: splitting layers at 1913760 blocks
SEND DVD+R DOUBLE LAYER RECORDING INFORMATION failed with SK=6h/ASC=29h/ACQ=00h]: Unknown error: 0

What the hell ?

Next test, try the internal burner in my MBP. And presto, worked like a charm. Next test with iBurn360 and my internal burner, also no problem.

But my external burner seems useless. So I took it to a friend of mine with a working iMac and tested it there.. no probs whatsoever, burned a backup perfectly.

So.. what gives ? Has the MBP having trouble with the USB speed or something (I use an external HDD for writing images.. hmm.. that's an idea.. I'll try hooking up an external firewire HDD .. see if that works.. in the meantime . any suggestions are welcome )

Ok,

tried a few other things. Copied the backup iso to my internal harddrive and tried, no joy. Then tried it with a firewire external HD, no joy. Plugged the external usb dvddrive onto the usb2 external HD, no joy.


Tried it again on my friend's iMac. Not a single problem.

I'm now officially flabbergasted Help... please... anyone ?

For clarity : it has nothing to do with the growisofs version I am using, since it CAN burn on my MBP, but only with the internal burner..

firmware update on the external burner?

So, just to clarify, your USB burner works fine on your freinds imac, but not on your MBP.. with the same media?

Have you tried switching USB ports? And.. is the iMac PPC or intel?

Yes, same media. In fact, the exact same disc. My friend's iMac is an Intel CoreDuo (first type of the Intels).
Tried every USB port on the MBP (there are three, right ? ), same result.  

And about upgrading the firmware.. why ? I mean, it's obviously not needed when connected to my friend's iMac ? I tried two burners which I put in the external case now. A pioneer 111D with fw 1.23 and an pioneer 112D with fw 1.09. Both work great on my friend's machine, but give an error on my MBP.

Ah, also, sometimes I get an input/output error instead of Unknown error : 0. I find it hard to believe that something is wrong with the USB-ports on the MBP since burning an image from an external USB HD with the internal burner works like a charm. That, to me, means the USB-ports are okay.

Well, I haven't the slightest :/ If you can get your hands on another USB enclosure for your drive, I'd be interested in the results... Could just be an incompatibility with the usb chipset in the MBP and the one in your drive. Few more things you might try... Does single layer media burn? Can you burn to D/L media on that drive in, say toast?

[lam47]

It keeps saying Recording finished after a few seconds. However nothing is being written to the disk.
Can anyone offer advice?

Update. Just spoke with Per on msn (the one with the problem with OSX 10.4.9) and learned the following :

1. His problem was not fully described in his posts. He has no internal duallayer on his MBP, so he bought an external LiteOn burner.
2. This liteon burner worked perfectly in 10.4.7 on his MBP.
3. When he upgraded to 10.4.9, it failed to work (same growisofs error as I have).

I always assumed he was talking about his internal burner, and you guys probably also thought this. But it turns out, this error is not a 'fluke' as appleguru stated a few posts back.

So, I dare anyone, with an EXTERNAL burner AND OSX 10.4.9 to try and run growisofs. If it works, please state the type of external burner, your machine and the type of media you are using.

If it doesn't work, there is something fundamentally different in 10.4.9 <> older version which prohibits external burner + 10.4.9 + growisofs to work.

Lam47.. you go first.. 10.4.9 ? External burner ?  

[cyberdork33]

Could try a beta of cdrtools...

I don't have an external burner for testing on this one...

Might post a request for errors here too:

Well, something to try is to load the old (10.4. kexts in place of the new ones...

10.4.9 came out on 3/13/07.. based on that it looks like they updated the following kexts:

System.kext
IPFirewall.kext
IOPCIFamily.kext
IONDRVSupport.kext
IOGraphicsFamily.kext
AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext

The system, firewall, and graphics ones are probablly pretty harmless here.. That leaves IOPCIFamily

So, who wants to try and load up the 10.4.8 IOPCIFamily kext? (NOTE: Not for newbs... you need proper permissions and you need to properly kextload the kernel extension for it to work. Failure to do so could lead to an unbootable system!)

Since my MBP is pretty virgin, I think I can risk it. If all fails, then in the worst case I have to reinstall OSX.
Can you talk me through it ? (msn maybe ?  (I have an XP laptop from work.. so I can put that next to my MBP).

BTW. Based on the name. is IONDRVSupport.kext not a better candidate ?
