Burning ISO's directly to DVD's

Hi everybody

I've attached my Samsung USB DVD burner to the front USB port on my RN314. Put in a blank recordable DVD.
Installed growisofs by using apt-get in a shell session. (apt-get install growisofs)

Afterwards I installed lsusb to enum the connected devices. The output looks like this:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 090c:1000 Silicon Motion, Inc. - Taiwan (formerly Feiya Technology Corp.) 64MB QDI U2 DISK
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0e8d:1956 MediaTek Inc.

The DVD drive seems to be the last entry.
I'm trying to do this with growisofs:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/bus/usb/001/005=/data/path/to/iso/file/DVD.iso

Output:
Executing 'builtin_dd if=/data/path/to/iso/file/DVD.iso of=/dev/bus/usb/001/005 obs=32k seek=0'
:-( write failed: Invalid argument

I guess somethings wrong with the path I put in for the DVD drive (/dev/bus/usb/001/005). Any takes on constructing the correct path here?

Thanks in advance!

    Did you use df to determine the mount point of the DVD burner?

    Nope.
    But trying df gives the following result:

    Does not give me the USB DVD drive though ?!? At this moment, there is no blank disc in the drive. Does that make a difference?

    Output from lsusb:

    Any takes on how to get the mount point then?
    Thanks.
  • Thanks
    But I do not seem to get it. According to the post you are referring to, I should have a /dev/dvd-rw file (or something similar). I don't:
    root@PIPPERNASV3:/dev# ls

    core input loop6 mpt2ctl random sdb2 sdd3 stdin tty13 tty21 tty3 tty38 tty46 tty54 tty62 urandom vcsa1


    Am I missing something?

    Maybe it might be because the Samsung USB drive actually is a BD drive as well? It DOES have the ability to write DVD's...

    I think the issue is that udev isn't properly installing the device. I don't know how to fix that though.

    :cry:
    Any idea as to who might be able to help me out? It would be an awesome feature!

    Someone with more linux expertise than I have - mdgm, chirpa, skywalker, certainly there are others here. Make sure you have full backups as you move forward.
