I have a DVR-A03 which I have used successfully to burn CDs with (this version of) cdrecord (1.11a11).
When used with DVD media (the sample piece which came with the drive) I have had but one dummy burn succeed, and all others fail at a random point with e.g.: Track 01: 477 of 4443 MB written (fifo 95%).cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 2A 00 00 03 BB 4F 00 00 1F 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 04 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 08 01 00 00 Sense Key: 0x4 Hardware Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x08 Qual 0x01 (logical unit communication time-out) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 2.009s timeout 200s write track data: error after 500856832 bytes Sense Bytes: 70 00 00 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Writing time: 221.003s The CDB is different each time but always "2A 00 00 " something, the rest is almost always the same (the cmd finished line seems to be varying by .001s each time) The command is the same each time: cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=1 -v -dummy -dao /mnt/disc1 but I notice: Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 2 in dummy mode for single session. Will I have better luck if I make some change to actually run at speed 1? Is there a guide on how to decode this information somewhere? Thus far my searches have turned up fruitless. -D -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
