> It does not seem that you really used cdrecord-ProDVD! > If you don't use it and give error messages, it is hard to help Ok, sorry for the _bad_ information. Here is what I get if I try to use cdrecord-ProDVD (obtained from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/ cdrecord-prodvd-2.01a24-i386-unknown-freebsd5.2), see below. > It is absolutely not recommended to format DVD-RW media. I try to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, this is why I try (wihout success) to format it using: # dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0 > If you ever did format it, you _need_ to run cdrecord blank=full > to make it usable again. I get the following error trying to blank the DVD-RW media: # ./cdrecord-wrapper.sh -v -blank=all dev=3,0,0 Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a24 (i386-unknown-freebsd5.2) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 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 scsidev: '3,0,0' scsibus: 3 target: 0 lun: 0 Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.

Am I doing something wrong or is my TEAC DV-W22E writer the problem (not supported, etc.)? Don't hesitate to ask for some other command's output. Since I am new to DVD recording, maybe I don't know the best information that might help you to diagnose the origin of this problem. > Note that the program called "dvdrecord" is an illegal program RedHat > that does not work. Ok. Thanks for your help, -- -jpeg.
