DVD burner again

[lotofag]

Hi, running Linux Mint 64, newbie to linux and I would like to author a dvd-a. As it turns out there is no suitable utility in Linux so I tried the wine but with no success. I read many a grievance about the wines disability to recognize dvd but the solutions appeared to be aimed at a linux-programmer level. My problem is that windows burning programs in wine object to the absence of an optical drive but I have one, it is a combo bd/dvd/cd. Some or most of the programs do not even install properly, I suspect because of this. Foobar burninnate wants imapi2 that wine dont like. Indeed some of the programs appear they would be happy with a virtual burner but that wine dont like too. So is there any trick up a sleeve that would make my wine find a dvd? Well the file manager in linux only recognise it if disk is in the drive that be not empty.

Have you tried http://dvd-audio.sourceforge.net/?

As for using Wine, if you want help getting a specific app to work, you are going to have to provide specific information. Pick an app (preferably one with a free download that demonstrates the issue), test it in a clean wineprefix using the latest development release, and post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Dvd-audio I tried but it seems it does not like 24/96 audio, which is a shame. If I wanted 16 bitdepth, I would go with redbook. Or so it seems. Repeatedly upon trying it failed to read a wav file presuming that it was broken. Clean prefix? Is basically what I ought to do uninstall all apps within wine or reinstall wine altogether using the latest release?

If you have nothing else installed in Wine that you want to save, just delete the wineprefix. If you do have other things you want to keep, install to a separate wineprefix. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix
