Hello, I own a BTC 1008 DVD writer and I'm trying to burn some video DVD-Rs with dvd+rw-tools (5.17.4.8.6) under FreeBSD 4.9
All DVDs I burnt are readable on only one standalone DVD player (a pioneer one) and with the burner. I can't read them on others DVD-ROM drives and standalone players. dvd+rw-mediainfo gives me that output: # dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cd1c INQUIRY: [DVDRW ][IDE1008 ][0054] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 11h, DVD-R Sequential Media ID: TYG01 Current Write Speed: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #0: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #1: 2.0x1385=2770KB/s Speed Descriptor#0: 00/2180047 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/2180047 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#10h]: Media Book Type: 25h, DVD-R book [revision 5] Legacy lead-out at: 2298496*2KB=4707319808 READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 25h, DVD-R book [revision 5] Last border-out at: 0*2KB=0 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: complete Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: complete Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: complete incremental Track Start Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 2180048*2KB Last Recorded Address: 2180047*2KB FABRICATED TOC: Track#1 : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Track#AA : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Multi-session Info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The "Last border-out at: 0*2KB=0" seems weird for me, but maybe I'm wrong. If I burn the same thing (using the same command: growisofs -Z /dev/cd1c -dvd-video /path/to/video) on a DVD+RW, the result is readable... Another thing, when I want to burn a data DVD I have to avoid the -dvd-compat option or the DVD will be readable only by the burner. Any idea?
