After reinstalling mythbuntu 7.10 for like the fourth time and setting
the permission for my archive directory I am again back at the
growisofs error.<br>
<br>
This is what it says in the README:<br>
<br>
<table class="code">

Well that is fine if I knew how to check/modify permissions for the
cdrom device. They are not talking about the /dev/cdrom are they? I
think I know how to make sure the mythtv user is in the 'cdrom' group
but I have no idea how to relax permissions on the device itself.<br>
Another interesting think I noticed is if I use the eject command for
dvd or cdrom it opens the door of the dvd drive, using eject cdrom1
opens the cdrom door. I don't know ubuntu well enough to understand
that or if that is normal.<br>

problem. I get all the way through the process and when it tries to burn

burning ISO image to /dev/dvd1

ERROR: failed while running growisofs
result 64512, command was: growisofs -Z /dev/dvd1 -dvd-video -V 'mythtv

please check the troubleshooting section of the README for ways to fix
this error.

so where do I find this readme file?
I'm using a single box with both front and back together running
mythbuntu 7.10

I wanted to ask if your problem is solved?
Maybe we can meet in IRC if you were not able to solve it, yet.
