Well, it's not really like it failed to burn for the first time, it only
failed to copy the volume desciptors and the second session remained
effectively invisible to isofs filesystem driver. I'll look into it...

The only reason it's still tagged "experimental" is that I don't have
DVD-minus capable unit for myself and can't double-verify new codes.
DVD-minus support therefore depends very much on community feedback.

Versons from 5.6 through 5.8 exhibited similar behaviour. See if 5.5
works as it should. A.
