= Preparing a DVD = == Burning the data == 1. create an iso image with `mkisofs -R -udf -verbose -o /tmp/dvd.iso -V ` 1. test the iso with `sudo mount -o ro,loop /tmp/dvd.iso /mnt/tmp` - mounts to /mnt/tmp, go look at it, then unmount with `sudo umount /mnt/tmp` (yes, that is umount not unmount). Create /mnt/tmp if it doesn't exist. 1. if it's ok, burn to CD/DVD with `sudo cdrecord dev=/dev/dvd -sao fs=100m driveropts=burnfree -v /tmp/dvd.iso` 1. clean up with `rm /tmp/dvd.iso` 1. check the dvd on another machine (ideally Windows) == Lightscribe == 1. open the CD template from ~arsf/arsf_data/2007/delivery/cd_covers/arsf_cd_label_gimp_editable.xcf in gimp 1. lick on the text button in the toolbox, then click the GB... text and edit to reflect the correct project code 1. save as a .bmp file somewhere, e.g. ~/ipy0708214ef.bmp 1. Insert the disk (upside down) on the lightscribe machine (currently pmpc974) and run `4L-cli print /dev/sr0 ~/ipy0708214ef.bmp` If it appears to be stuck on "Starting up", it may still be burning - give it time to complete. For a dense full disk picture, wait at least 45mins! If the drive seems wrong, try `4L-cli enumerate` to list attached lightscribe compatible drives. ----------------------- Return to [wiki:Procedures/EndUserDelivery]
