[Bug 233942] Re: genisoimage generates wrong DVD-Video images

[Edward Hasbrouck]

I tried to use the Gutsy version of genisoimage, but it didn't work for
me.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 (Dell install) on a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop.

Downloaded genisoimage_1.2.1.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb from one of the mirror the links at 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/nl/gutsy/i386/genisoimage/download

Ran sudo dpkg genisoimage_1.1.6-1ubuntu3_i386.deb

Set "lock version" for this package in Synaptic package manager.

Tried to burn a DVD from MythTV (mytharchive module).  Error from
mythburn.log:

2008-10-08 12:46:47 Burning ISO image to /dev/dvd
2008-10-08 12:46:47 growisofs -dvd-compat  -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video -V "Name of DVD" /home/username/.mythtv/temp/work/dvd

2008-10-08 12:56:04 
2008-10-08 12:56:04 Terminated

The DVD can be read and played on my Ubuntu box, and will play using VLC
player on Windows 2000, but I cannot browse the files on Windows or play
it with other Windows DVD players.  I don't have a standalone DVD player
to try it in.

I have reverted to the hardy version of genisoimage.  With the hardy
version, mytharchive thinks it has completed, and does not produce any
error in the mythburn.log.  But the DVD has the same reading problem
under Windows.
