Bug#688229: Burning data DVD looks successful but mounting fails

Hi,

Yes. That is the start of a Primary Volume Descriptor block.

Please mount the medium and use diff to compare the files in
the image with their originals on hard disk. Just to be sure.
(Mounting does not check all blocks in the image for sanity.)

(Who told your computer your full name on the first hand ?)

ECMA-119 says about that field in the PVD:

"8.4.21 Data Preparer Identifier (BP 447 to 574)
 This field shall specify an identification of the person or other
 entity which controls the preparation of the data to be recorded
 on the Volume Group of which the volume is a member.
"
I would rather use it to identify the image generating program.
(I do so in xorriso. E.g.:
  "XORRISO-1.2.5 2012.09.15.170346, LIBISOBURN-1.2.5, LIBISOFS-1.2.5, LIBBURN-1.2.5"
)

Brasero mentions itself as:
"8.4.20 Publisher Identifier (BP 319 to 446)
 This field shall specify an identification of the user who specified
 what shall be recorded on the Volume Group of which the volume is a
 member.
"
I would deem this field more appropriate to rat out Paul Menzel. :))

mkisofs has a third opinion on that. It advertises itself in:
"8.4.22 Application Identifier (BP 575 to 702)
 This field shall specify an identification of the specification of
 how the data are recorded on the Volume Group of which the volume
 is a member.
"

If you would like to donate, please mail us:
 mario.danic [at] gmail [dot] com, Cc: scdbackup [at] gmx [dot] net.

I personally can accept donations only by my german bank account.
Possibly this is feasible within the EU even with smaller
amounts. 
Our project founder Mario Danic has a paypal account, afaik.
I understand he has to pay money for the web hoster.


Have a nice day :)
