To all who can't get ADVDInfo work

EDIT fixed links

Download the latest cdrtools and cdrecord-prodvd

Open a dos windows (windows 2000: "cmd", windows 98: "command"), find out the scsi host address of your dvd writer (Possible with Nero or, if you prefer, cdrecord -scanbus), and write:

cdrecord-prodvd -dev=x,y,0 -atip (with x,y being your host address)

This requires a working aspi layer!

Taxidermista · 10th October 2002, 16:33

OMG, it works! Thanks a lot, alexnoe.

Ah, just a note: cdrecord parameters are case-sensitive.

trekkerj · 10th October 2002, 20:52

>cdrecord-prodvd -dev=x,y,0 -atip (with x,y being your host address)

What does this command do, btw? (Just before I blindly download and use it)

ADVDInfo suddenly works for me. Have done nothing but changing mainboard+cpu and doing a repair installtions...

trekkerj · 10th October 2002, 21:47

This is what I get. What does it mean? I don't see "manufacturer"

Maybe your drive doesn't support reading of manufacturer

Did you really insert a dvd-r, or was it a dvd-ram?

trekkerj · 10th October 2002, 22:42

It was a blank DVD-R. Maybe you're right. Is that possible? Any else have a Panasonic?

alexnoe · 10th October 2002, 22:44

I'll ask the author or cdrecord if this is possible...
OK, he says that it's possible that some drives might not support reading of manufacturer info.

Reggatta Mondatta · 14th November 2002, 04:48

Nero shows the device at scsibus 4, target 0.
'cdrecord-prodvd' lists a disk drive at that location.
Is this an artifact of a using a 'firewire' connection?

alexnoe · 14th November 2002, 05:42

Maybe...

LIGHTNING UK! · 14th November 2002, 20:17

Just to let you know, the new version of DVD Decrypter (3.1.4.0) also displays this information when in ISO modes.

Reggatta Mondatta · 14th November 2002, 22:29

I do not see that version (3.1.4.0) on your site. Is it available?

OBW, great tool and I will be making a donation to support your work.

Best regards,

RM

It will be out this weekend - if I get a chance!
