I also tried Pioneer BDR-205 Blu-ray recorder, firmware 1.12. growisofs can record any blank DL DVD with no problem. xorriso can record DL DVD on either drive.
So, the problem seems isolated to growisofs and some alignment peculiarity with the firmware of this DS8A1H drive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to dvd+rw-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1757030 Title: Lite-On DS8A1H Slimline fails to record dual layer DVD+R Status in dvd+rw-tools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried Verbatim 8x and 2.4x DVD+R DL.
