I guess you get above "growisofs did not exit cleanly :P" from K3b. Probably K3b really got a non zero exit value from growisofs indicating that something went wrong. > -use-the-force-luke=notray For this option i am too much a coward. Andy was so kind to implement ...=noload . Nevertheless this should not be a reason for a non-zero exit. Given your previous problems with K3b+growisofs this might be related to burner+media. But usually growisofs should issue some kind of error message with a little frown in such a case. I assume that K3b tried to make rewritable your media via dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/hdc and failed. cdrecord-ProDVD obviously did not fail but possibly the media are still not good for growisofs. Two things could be tried: dvd+rw-format -force /dev/hdc to achieve DVD-RW mode "Restricted Overwrite" which will avoid the need to blank or format the media before re-use by growisofs. Then try K3b+growisofs again with that media. (If you blank the media by cdrecord-ProDVD you get back into a state that demands blanking before re-use. If you format it by dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/hdc you will also get back to the state which is only writeable once and then needs -blank=full again. You always need to blank before re-using DVD-RW with cdrecord-ProDVD.) mkisofs ... | cdrecord-ProDVD ... You will have to study man mkisofs and man cdrecord, or read one of the many CD/DVD burning tutorials, or get a frontend to cdrecord-ProDVD for that. I can offer a non-GUI frontend which is about as hard to use as commands ls or cp. One has to do some initial setup, though. Contact me, if you are interested. It can use both, growisofs and cdrecord-ProDVD. As Andy states on growisofs' webpage, cdrecord-ProDVD uses a burn method which is different from the two methods of growisofs. So it might be worth a try. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
