[Dvdrtools-users] Floundering with a Pioneer DVR-105

[Bill Suit]

This is my first attempt to tackle recording of any format with linux.
I've been reading numerous sites over the past two weeks, but can't seem
to find one that will tell me how to set up the configuration for this
device.For example, what do I need to put in /etc/fstab or, say,
/etc/modules.conf? And any other necessary config locations.I don't have
any other removeable media devices, except floppy, of course.At this
time I can play a music cd through a gnome cdplayer app. I can play a
music dvd and a movie dvd through mplayer.Though I can't tell you why
they work!

I'm using a gentoo distro, linux-2.4.19-10(gentoo sources), AthlonXP
1.8, and 528 megs of ram. I have installed the dvrtools package and also
recently added cdrecord patched by Mandrake, which I think added dvd
support. I have not yet tried to record a dv-r. I have tried to receord
a cd-r and have had no success. It seems to be either media not
recognised (Ritek and Taiyo Yuden) and/or can't get the first track to
record. I used the commands from 'man cdrecord' to copy a music cd:

To copy an audio CD in the most accurate way, first run

cdda2wav -vall cddb=0 -D2,0 -B -Owav

and then run

cdrecord -v dev=2,0 -dao -useinfo -text  *.wav

I substituted 'dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 in both commands. Also used -dummy a
couple of times.

Rather than rambling on and on, here is the output of a the most recent
attempt to record a cd-r:

hb3 root # cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 -dummy -dao -useinfo -text *.wav
