Debian uses wodim, which is descended from cdrecord. "Not as good" is a subjective opinion; we have diverged from cdrecord in several ways, which we believe are improvements, but the cdrecord author does not always agree. He continues to develop cdrecord as well, so he may have made recent improvements, and of course that also implies that his opinion is as biased as mine. He spends a lot of time and energy talking about our project, though I'm not sure why. In fact he has made quite a lot of negative comments about us publicly, apparently not willing to trust users to be knowledgeable enough to figure out on their own which project is more suitable, and thus "vote with their feet". Incidentally, I'm not willing to join in the mud-slinging - obviously I like the direction we are going with wodim, but there's nothing actually _wrong_ with cdrecord - our code and feature differences are largely matters of personal style. If you'd like to try cdrecord, that's fine with me. > /usr/bin/wodim: The current problem looks like a buffer underrun. > /usr/bin/wodim: It looks like 'driveropts=burnfree' does not work for this > drive. If this is the actual problem, you can disable burnfree with 'driveropts=noburnfree' on the command line, or use a line in /etc/wodim.conf like cdrom= -1 -1 -1 noburnfree to change the default. By the way, this would explain why cdrdao works - I believe it does _not_ use the 'BurnFree' feature by default. Indeed, last I checked, the same is true of cdrecord, so it would probably work too. Please let us know if this helps - Peter
