Mario,Your DVD drive refuses to read this CD as DVD.....
Which it isn't of course :)
mkisofs -dvd-video -o dvd.img dvd cdrecord dev=0,4,0 -dao dvd.imgI don't now anything about MiniDVD's, but DVD's use a UDF filesystem, you created a ISO9660 filesystem ...mkisofs -dvd-video Generate DVD-Video compliant UDF file system
thanks, didn't know that one
In case of a mini-DVD, the DVD drive considers it a standard CD-R (with whatever on it, it doesn't care), with the software side taking care of everything.libdvdnav use libdvdread which decides on it's own wether to use or not to use DVD ioctl's. There is nothing i can do about that (or would want to do).
Mar 17 17:07:42 video kernel: The failed "Send DVD Structure" packet command was: Mar 17 17:07:42 video kernel: "ad 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 08 00 00 "DVD specific ioctls will fail in this case, and should not be used.
I don't know how to solve the problem for you, I just want to take away the confusion of wether it has anything to do with your CD/DVD drive (you don't even need a DVD drive, CD reader will do, it needs to be fast enough to reach DVD 1x speed though, so CD x9 ?)libdvdread can and does read UDF images, but it also tries to be smart about mounted disc and tries to read them directly through the underlying drive.
The software needs to understand that the CD-image is a DVD UDF filesystem.
Consider one example, usually if I have a big divx (from recording) to burn to a CD-R, and the size is matched to max out a single CD-R, I burn the divx directly AS the ISO, instead of putting it INSIDE an ISO image.mplayer will NOT play the DVD, it will ONLY play the VOB's files. That is something _different_!
Mplayer will play it just fine (i.e. mplayer /dev/cdrom - and it will recognise it as a divx). Until now we still haven't figured out how to convince Windows (friend's place) to play them :-)
