Hi, list. FWIW - just in case anybody else has a similar problem:
CD-writer writes under Windows OK Writes to CD-RW with cdrecord (and GUIs based on cdrecord) but will *NOT*, absolutely *NOT*, write CD-Rs. DIAGNOSIS: If you have a reasonably modern, i.e. high-speed writer it may experience problems writing CD-Rs at *LOW* speed and fail with errors: "OPC failed ...."."Sense Code: Power calibration area error...." This doesn't happen with CD-RWs. SOLUTION: Change cdrecord speed=2(say) to ...speed=12 (for example) for CD-Rs. Many thanks to a lot of people, particularly John Richard Smith, who kept plugging and helped me plug, away at the problem to the end. DougB
