[all variants] Unable to Mount (Some) Recently Burned DVDs

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – For several years I've been happily burning files to DVDs using k3b. A couple of months ago I began encountering a problem that now has me completely bewildered. Some recently burned DVDs will not mount in Ubuntu, although they seem to mount fine (and pass integrity tests) on several Macs. In fact -- and here's where it seems really weird to me -- these problem disks mount fine in WinXP running in VirtualBox on this same machine. Yes, that's right -- the disk is burned in Ubuntu, but Ubuntu won't mount it, even though XP, running as a guest OS, will. I've tried everything I can think of -- (Hardware)

[ubuntu] DVD drive probs 3 years 32 weeks ago

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right spot for this....

Hi. I'm having a problem where my laptop dvd drive does not recognizes data dvds burned by itself. I'm having to use a external dvd drive to read my dvds. This is absolutely weird because my laptop drive records just fine. Using xubuntu 12.04.

[ubuntu] Unable to mount DVD-R 22 weeks 4 hours ago

In 12.10, any time I put a DVD-R in my disc drive I'm presented with this prompt:

I'm trying to mount an .iso image to a disc with Furius ISO mount, but the disc drive is not recognized in the program and I have to assume it's because of this issue. I've tried watching standard DVDs and haven't had a problem with them, so it seems to only be problematic with DVD-R.

I have a working Samsung CD/DVD player (SATA connection) and am running latest updated version of 12.04.

For clarity, my goal is to create a bootable install usb using the instructions in the guide here but following this results in a non-bootable usb which will not even mount as a drive once the computer has booted up.

Furthermore every 12.x iso I have tried will not even mount using the OS X disk utility, instead showing an error message "Unable to mount the_iso_i_am_trying.iso (no mountabl

Hello everybody,

I was trying to watch a movie from an original DVD that I have bought recently, but I was unable to.

When I put the DVD on my unit and try to mount it (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) I get this error:

mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device

I found the same error using /dev/cdrom, /dev/sr0 or /dev/dvd on the mounting command.

I try with several original movie DVDs (region 1 and regio

[SOLVED] F16 Mount error 12 49 weeks 5 days ago

I was running a music app to listen to music on my F16 box, and got an error that it ran out of memory, so I rebooted it (via "restart"), and it booted back up fine, however the two drive mappings I have in /etc/fstab that mount to a Windows box would not mount.
