Hello, My Teac DV-W50E, actually a rebadged Pioneer 105, gave up the ghost, so I quickly got a LiteOn LDW-451S DVD writer. It works fine in Windows XP and Nero for DVD writing, but cdrecord-ProDVD in Linux doesn't seem to think it's a DVD writer at all.
For example: $ ./cdrecord-wrapper.sh dev=/dev/hdc -v /mnt/work/test Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a23-2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg Schilling Unlocked features: ProDVD Clone Limited features: This copy of cdrecord is licensed for: private/research/educational_non-commercial_use TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM ./cdrecord-ProDVD: Operation not permitted.

Any help? Result is the same if I use ide-scsi and dev=1,0,0 instead or run as root, although with less warnings. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
