Hi.. whenever I try to write a TDK DVD+R 4X disc, with growisofs, the disc is closed very early (after one minute) and I get the following messages, from k3b:

I have managed to write one out of 10 of those DVDs, This is the only 4X disc I have ever tried to write, and here there are no other 4X discs available to try. Also my DVD is on a PDC20268 controller, on the second channel as master and I have an ASUS K7V mainboard with KX133 VIA chipset. I am using the following hdparm command: hdparm -c1 -d1 -u1 -X udma2 /dev/hdg 2.6.0-test11 dvd+rw-tools-5.14.4.7.4 cdrtools-2.01a20pre2 and latest firmware for my SONY.
