Check read permissions on files.

Thanks for the clue, hadn't thought of that, but I expect to find a solid
-rw-rw-r-- I haven't saved any of the files that didn't work, will try on
new ones.
edz...@gmail.com
Didn't work. Changed permissions to -rw-rw-rw-- on a set of
BUP,IFO,VOB,etc files, k3b still "can't find all necessary files", kicked
it over to XP, burned, inserted into dvd player, worked perfectly. it's
over my head

Previously you said the error message was "not all files present"
So the error message changed?
Or are you just nor reporting the actual error message?
Please state the exact, verbatim, word for word, error message.

So k3b does not consider that all the necessary files for creating a DVD
are present.
Have you checked that all the files are there, including menus etc?
Perhaps when Nero creates the DVD, it is creating something extra
which you have not provided, or it does not do an integrity check?
Did you actually try the DVD you created with Nero in a real DVD player?

Yes. obviously

I'm not that familiar with the contents of dvd assemblies, but when burn
is done in xp, menus are present if on the original.

It does an integrity check, but apparently different from k3b.

Yes, they play exactly as they should.
expansion:
This has been going on for some time, during which the "nero" copies
exhibit different characteristics, ie some have menues, requiring "click
on play" "scenes" "options", etc, some don't. but if nero says it's no
good, you can believe it. I have a few coasters to show it.

Had a thought: I didn't have this problem running Mepis 7. considering
the way Linux is put together, could the problem be in Mepis, instead of
k3b?

Are you creating the files for burning to a DVD format DVD in the same
way though as you previously did?
In fact how are you creating the files to put on the DVD format DVD?
Perhaps you could take a look at
<http://ubuntuforums.ORG/showthread.php?t=649023>
with regard to converting from avi to iso and also
with regard to DVD Author for creating the necessary structure files, and
a list of libraries that need to be installed for doing DVD burning.
Sorry if this is telling you something you already know about and
have already checked, but without knowing the list of files and
exact nature of each that you have assembled, it is not possible
to say why k3b is complaining, and with that information it is
probably better getting directly in touch with the k3b developers
if you believe that all is correctly present.

The answer is now obvious. I should-I will, express my thanks for your
efforts, and stay with what I know how to work. I'm not a "techie" or
programmer, or even real smart. I'm an 83 yr old retired carpenter that
appreciates Linux for its power, safety, speed, and the fact that a few
thousand really smart people could put together something that does so
much so well, but the one area it comes up short is video. and a lot of
my pastime is spent collecting decent videos for the grandkids. Todays
hollywood output is pure garbage, so I catch oldies from wherever. So-
Thanks very much for your help, and have a goodun.

I think there's a lot more that needs to be done in the area of video but
I find k3b a great programs for burning stuff, and pretty much none-fail.
but I've only used it twice or so to burn videos in the way you propose,
and I vaguely recall getting that error when I hadn't properly selected
the two basic directories needed for a video, video_ts and audio_ts. if
you do try again, make sure you make the proper selections - one can be
tripped up by an interface one's getting used to. (if this isn't your
problem, sorry I mentioned it!)
I don't think Linux is only for techies but that's a different discussion.
Nero I hear tell is pretty good; I thought there was a version for Linux?

K3b is VERY good in all areas except video, even does iso's great.

well, not any more. my Mepis 8/32 is real dummy-friendly.

Wish I could find one for Linux. I got a copy of nero 7 with an ata dvd
burner last week, and it's the best and fastest yet.(in xp) I have been
unable to find a dvd video burner for Linux other that k3b, which doesn't
work for me.

Can't iso's be burned with
cat file.iso > /dev/sr0
or
dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sr0
replacing /dev/sr0 with the device needed?
Then check them with
diff -a /dev/sr0 file.iso
This seems so much easier, and worked so far on my dvd's ripped with
the reverse...
cat /dev/dvd0 > file.iso
or
dd if=/dev/dvd0 of=file.iso
I do have to start the dvd once with vlc to get decss to work, but after
closing vlc and unmounting the dvd, dd and cat work fine.
Or am I just making things to simple....

UH-OH. Now you're trying to get me to use my brain with that command line
stuff.-but you have aroused my curiosity, so now I'm going to print it
out ands see if I can figure it out....
felmon
> Or am I just making things to simple....
stop it! yes, way too simple!
I never thought of doing it this way but it's obvious.
also I was thinking the edzmess was starting with files in video_ts and
audio_ts directories. I've used k3b to burn such files.
now are you going to come up with a simple one-liner for _that_ too?
(leaving growisofs aside.)

you need to watch out with that curiosity thing: the command-line can
become addictive.
using a gui is like having to draw pictures to communicate with someone
vs. just speaking to them.
(I am not a zealot; the gui is irreplaceable for me for a lot of things I
do.)

It's worth it, especially when it comes to CD/DVD burning. k3B is, after
all, essentially just a GUI for various command line tools. Not that I'm
DVD burning guru.

I know, I used to be as content as a rabbit in a carrot patch with "old
dos', DR dos, FDOS, MSDOS 3--6, then Bill Gates came along and screwed up
the whole system. But all that was childs play compared to the Linux
commands.

I really liked DR Dos!

Streamingvideo
helps you easily convert all videos to DVD including AVI, MPG, MPEG,
MP4, WMV, MOV, MP4,
DAT, RM, and HD videos such as M2TS, TP, TRP, etc. You can even make a
video slideshow with 32 menu templates and 60 transition effects.

Ok,if you only burn wmv to dvd,you can use Wondershare WMV to DVD
Burner,it has quite low price to compare with video to dvd
burner,learn more about it:

UPDATE:
The above only works on my system with single layer (4.7G) dvds.
With the double layer DVD+R (8.5G) dvds, I get an error message,
telling me the the media is "read only"
So much for doing it the easy way.

NOTICE:
Ripping like this works fine with almost all the DVD's I tried,
regardless of capacity.
