Hello list - back in January I wrote in about some issues I was having with dual-layer DVD burning, which ended up being solved by a firmware update on my burner. [1]
Just recently, I started having issues again, where the burning process (both with growisofs and cdrecord) would *seem* to burn fine, but there'd be an error during the layer flip which caused the disc to be unreadable at that point (ie: halfway through the disc). After a whole lot of investigation and coasters, I found out that I could make use of cdrecord's 'layerbreak' driveropt to result in a disc that was actually readable. I've got two questions about this: 1) The cdrecord manpage mentions that using 'layerbreak' will cause the drive to burn using the 'layer jump' method, as opposed to 'sequential recording.' Is there a way to tell growisofs to do the same thing? I'd rather use growisofs, simply because it avoids the need to create a .iso first, though of course if that's impossible then I'll just use cdrecord. 2) I originally tried using 'layerbreak' without specifying the actual break point, which just resulted in the message "cdrecord: Bad layer break value ''" - I had to manually supply the break point, at which time it burnt properly. The manpage only mentions DVD-R/DL in the section that deals with 'layerbreak' without a specified breakpoint. Does that mean that DVD+R/DL just doesn't support having the breakpoint automatically detected?
