Re: DVD recording adventures continued
Just ejecting and reloading disc leads to a status reset, and the
medium again is recognized as blank and can be recorded with growisofs.
Don't take any chances, *always* reload media after burns, especially
after unsuccessful once as recording program won't do it for you.
So, now with growisofs (and only with this) I can record + and - as
it seems. You might suppose I'm a happy guy now? Guess what happened
next: with a new DVD+R brand (Imation), the disc recorded at 4x with
growisofs until 100%, and then failed on closing session. Details
see below. Yeah. Any chance for recovery this time?

only difference was that yesterday I recorded some DVD-R before), but when
it came to session close, the same thing happened - result is unusable.
There really might be some IDE problem. But why does it only occur with
certain media, and in a very reproducable way (no random errors)?
Somehow there must be a big bad thing somewhere in the system.
After all, there seem to be people that do not encounter that kind
of problems constantly.
Tired of this for the moment,

Re: DVD recording adventures continued
Can I suggest a bad IDE cable as a possible cause? Noise on the cable might lead to ECC errors I'd say. Thanks for the hint. I also came to think there might be something wrong with my IDE. And now that you mention the cable: the box is a Shuttle barebone, and the cable is a special cable (split into several parts to make it narrower) designed for that case. That does mean, I cannot try another cable, and probably it is not even defect, but the design may hold higher risk of bus errors. Now that all sounds reasonable. But - all errors so far have been quite deterministic / reproducable. And that certainly speaks against above theory, does it? I will test more of the same media (perhaps it really was by accident this one time) as well as Andy's one-time-tool (Thank you!), probably tomorrow. FL

Re: speed option in growisofs
I wanted to write a dvd at lower speed than 4x. Im using a LG GSA-4040B and Yakumo DVD+R. I've tried growisofs -speed=1 but the speed option seems to be ignored Manual page explicitly mentions that -speed option is for controlling DVD-R[W] recording velocity. This means that it indeed is ignored in DVD+ context. I don't know if the following statement holds *universally* true, but at least all unit's I've worked with so far couldn't control the DVD+ recording speed. This is the original reason why the -speed is ignored. At least for the time being [as nobody says it can't change]. and the discs are still written at 4x speed (the problem is that some people can't read my dvds!) I'd put recording velocity *last* in the possible culprits list. Have you followed instructions in Compatibility: caveat lector paragraph on dvd+rw-tools page. No, manipulating booktype is not an option with LG units, but lead-out issues apply to all units and even all media, i.e. both - and +. A.

it came to session close, the same thing happened - result is unusable.
There really might be some IDE problem. But why does it only occur with
certain media, and in a very reproducable way (no random errors)?
Somehow there must be a big bad thing somewhere in the system.
After all, there seem to be people that do not encounter that kind
of problems constantly.
Tired of this for the moment,
Thanks for trying to help.

Re: Re: DVD recording adventures continued
There is a firware update to 1.03 for the Plextor 708A. I applied it on mine and it's Ok so far. -Dyson I know of this, but according to what I read about it it did not add too many new media. I would update if I did not have to use DOS/Win for this. How did you do it? If you used a Linux tool, I would be very interested in the details.. FL
