I'm tring to write an iso file to a blank'ed dvd-rw disc and I got this error. I know that the error msg speaks for itself (medium error), but just wondering if it could actually be something else besides my dvd as I've used this disc a few times already. It was burning for about 10-15 minutes before it timed out. Any help appreciated, thanks.
cdrecord version: 2.01.01a16 There are two bunches of output below. I notice that it's failing around the same area (2.9GB) on two different discs. I remember reading about a size limit with writing data to a cd/dvd... Any help appreciated.. Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 2 in real SAO mode for single session. Last chance to quit, starting real write 0 seconds.
