I tried this and here's the output: $ dd if=~/newworld.iso bs=2048 of=/dev/dvd dd: writing `/dev/dvd': No space left on device 2+0 records in 1+0 records out 2048 bytes (2.0 kB) copied, 0.080821 s, 25.3 kB/s I guessed this was because the media needed formatting which I did with dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd but the outcome was still the same. I tried cdrecord because growisofs didn't work (see thread about a fortnight ago). So this may not be software related. But it would still be nice to get a clear error message indicating what has gone wrong. Thanks for your help, Parker _________________________________________________________________ Got a 2008 financial hangover? Find a cure at MSN NZ Money http://money.msn.co.nz
