change file name while burning to cd, dvd, bd

Hi there.

I have a PC running MythBuntu. It's recording TV shows as mpg files. The filenames represent station and time of recording.

When I want to burn a recorded movie to DVD, I have to use this rather cryptic name, or copy the file to get it to have a meaningful name (or rename, burn, rename again).

Is there a way to burn a file to an optical drive giving it another name on the media than the file had on harddisk?

does "dump" command knows DVD device ?

Problem with blank DVD+R on Fedora 13

I moved to Fedora 13 from Vista and I'm having issues with DVD+R burning.

On Vista I actually burned the Fedora ISO to install, and Fedora can read the DVD+R burned disc. But, now I insert a blank DVD+R but somehow it can not get the size of the disk correctly. The disk is recognized, and mounted as "Blank DVD+R Disc", but when I Right-Click on the icon on my desktop it says 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free.

When I try Brasero, it tells me that there is not enough space to burn.

My DVD is a Toshiba DVDW/HD TS-L802A firm. HP21.

CD's work fine, any ideas?

External optical drive won’t plug 'n play…sometimes.

alright, I've looked a lot of different ways, but here goes. i have an external DVD burner that connects via USB and should be plug 'n play however sometimes when I connect it a message pops up requesting any CD or installation software it came with. It didn't come with any though. The confusing part is that if I wait a couple weeks and plug it in, then it works fine, but if I turn it off and back on the problem arises again. I've tried different computers, same problem. There's little to no customer support from the company, Ativa, and no drivers for the product. I'm hoping there's a registry trick for this. any help?

[Solved] - CD-ROM looks like a Floppy after Ubuntu 10.04LTS + Updates

Dell Latitude C-610 has a DVD-ROM taen out of a C-640 and put into the C-610.

I had Ubuntu 9.10 on it and everything works just fine.

I reformatted, installed Ubuntu 10.04, everything works just fine.

I updated from 10.04 to the latest kernel and other updates, rebooted, now the icon shows as floppy0 and it won't read CDs or DVDs because it thinks it's a floppy drive, not a DVD-CD ROM drive.

I rebooted the system with a Live CD of 9.04 and it sees it as a DVD-CD ROM. I rebooted the system with a Live CD of 10.04LTS and it sees it as a DVD-CD ROM.

Therefore........

I have verified that:

1) The drive physicall works. 2) It's not the BIOS or anything to do with that. 3) It worked with Ubuntu 9.04 and 10.04LTS, but not after the updates for 10.04LTS

Therefore based upon the above information, I have determined that the most likely cause is an update to Ubuntu 10.04LTS.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? How may I fix it?
