Blu-ray writer problem in linux - Blu-ray Forum

vivekanathan · 06-14-2006, 09:15 AM

Hi,

I am using Pioneer blu-ray writer with Fedora core 4.
Kernel recognize it as DVD-ROM not as writer.

I am not able to write in the disc. What would be the problem ?

Thanks,
Vivek

My own experience with the pioneer drives has been very unimpressive, not only because they are incompatible with some of the most common disc formats, but I think they have a very serious firmware problem, its almost as if they rushed the drive to market without really polishing anything up are caring for that matter. I'm not running in linux but their performance in XP (an interface you would think compatability would be necessary) has been abysmal. I've had much better experience with Panasonic, although they both have some kinks that need to be ironed out, especially on the firmware, and software sides of things.

Maybe it has to do with AACS not being compliant with Linux machines.
If they won't support Linux, someone may eventually create DeAACS..

I refer to the DeCSS history.

Quote:

Jon Johansen is being prosecuted by the Norwegian Economic Crime Unit (OKOKRIM) under Norwegian Criminal Code 145(2). Johansen created DeCSS software that can enable DVD playback on Linux. It is argued that the DeCSS software is a piracy tool.

Hehe, notice DeAACS.com.

yeah that would be my guess. I would also imagine that there aren't too many linux drivers avaliable yet for it.
