Can one criticize dvd+rw-tools for so to say sweeping the bug under the 
carpet, which might have indirectly complicated life for other 
applications and their developers? Well, one could *if* it was done 
silently. But it wasn't. Thorough problem analysis was presented to the 
public on a FreeBSD list (see 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-December/007424.html) 
the moment this [non-intrusive] workaround was introduced in 
dvd+rw-tools 5.15.x update. The problem description explicitly mentions 
that *all* recording applications are affected, thus depicting how 
serious problem is. A.

If you did know about the bug before I did, I may well critisize you:

Why didn't you send a bug report (as I did) in order to get this fatal
bug fixed instead of introducing a workaround that only partially hides
the problem?

Note that FreeBSD has been known to work correctly _before_ this bug has been
introduced.

Ok. The media I bought are as follow:
 - TDK DVD-RW single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-2x;
 - TDK DVD-R  single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-4x.

Is there anything wrong whith these types of media? Advices?

The medium quality should be OK. So it should become usable by cdrecord
after you did run

cdrecord blank=full 

on it...

Because you are harsh to everyone, whether they are new to the list, old

to urge the poster to continue to pursue his problems, inspite of the 
harshness of your responses.

Yoy are not correct.

I am harsh only to people who are obviously lazy as you appear to be!


I am sorry, but the way you send mail to this mailing list _exactly_
is one of the reasons why I get more and more trouble to do anything
new on cdrecord just because I get stuck to replying to mail only.

You are a person who is harsh and you are a person that should

Would people _please_ stop picking on Joerg.

It should be quite obvious that if
  a) people don't read documentation, or
  b) people use bastardized versions of cdrecord, or
  c) people use broken kernels
and claim Joerg's software is broken, then he will be, IMHO understandably,
upset.  Look, the software is free and the support is free.  I think it's
unreasonable and rude to expect much more (like sugar coated responses)
for free.

Geoffrey, _you_ are the one that made unnecessary personal remarks in
this thread.  You're using a broken kernel is not a personal comment.
Joerg simply told the user to use a working kernel, which is the only
reasonable answer to the problem.

most likely means that your media is poorly supported by your firmware.
Then 3/11/05 L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR doesn't make much sense
either... What media is it anyway (see dvd+rw-mediainfo output for Media
ID)? Poor media support manifests itself in most bizarre ways. There
were reports that DVD-RW media acts as write-once, -twice or three
times. In other workds I'd really recommend to test other media brands,
preferably explicitly recommended by unit manufacturer, before drawing
final conclusions. A.


Ok. The media I bought are as follow:
 - TDK DVD-RW single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-2x;
 - TDK DVD-R  single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-4x.
Is there anything wrong whith these types of media?
Note that I didn't questioned media quality per se [just yet], but this 
media support by your firmware. New media products are being introduced 
to market all the time, some might *require* firmware update...

Advices?
I still stand by test other media brands before drawing final conclusions.

Here are some informations about the report from dvd+rw-mediainfo.

1/ Two new DVD-RW I tried to blank and which are now _not_usable_ says:
 /* First one */
  Mounted Media: 14h, DVD-RW Sequential
no Media ID?
 :-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h]:
 /* Second one */
  Mounted Media: 14h, DVD-RW Sequential
  Media ID:   TTG01
 :-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h]:
It's first time I observe READ TRACK INFORMATION failing and it's first 
time I observe 3/11/05 code. TRACK INFORMATION is vital and 
correspodning command is expected to work and so far was observed to 
work under *any* circumstances. Failure most likely indicate that PMA, 
Program Memory Area, is busted. Is it possible that it happened because 
firmware picked inappropriate laser power for this media? Yes, it's 
plausible. Note that laser power is purely firmware domain and is beyond 
OS or application software control...

2/ A new DVD-RW I *never* used says:
  Mounted Media: 14h, DVD-RW Sequential
  Media ID:  TDK502sakuM3
Are these disks come from same pack? If you can confirm that they come 
from same pack, then I don't know what to think. Media ID is not 
supposed to change as result of recording...

As for Media ID not being reported for finalized DVD-R. Note that unit 
reported it as DVD-ROM (see Mounted Media). Apparently 
dvd+rw-mediainfo doesn't pull Media ID in such case (looks like bug, 
I'll look into it). A.

It is what I think, but when I tried:
 - either dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0;
 - or ./cdrecord-wrapper.sh -v -blank=all dev=3,0,0.

I get some errors. In the case of cdrecord, it was about the fact that
there is no support for autosense logic in my particular OS release... as
you pointed it in past posts (related bug recently fixed in the development
branch).

As you may have noticed on another post, I gave a try to -CURRENT and
fall with an usable FreeBSD system. I had to restore it completely. Hey,
it's an active development branch after all! ;)

In the meantime, and just to inform the list for my different tests, I
tried to adapt the modified part for the fixed device from the -CURRENT
tree... without success though (but as I'm not a developer...) :(

 - write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord);
 - write a DVD-R (growisofs).

But it seems _not_possible_ to write (or rewrite or blank etc.) a DVD-RW.

It does not seem that you really used cdrecord-ProDVD!

If you don't use it and give error messages, it is hard to help

It is absolutely not recommended to format DVD-RW media.
If you ever did format it, you _need_ to run cdrecord blank=full
to make it usable again.

cdrecord-ProDVD (obtained from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/
cdrecord-prodvd-2.01a24-i386-unknown-freebsd5.2), see below.

 It is absolutely not recommended to format DVD-RW media.

I try to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, this is why I
try (wihout success) to format it using:

 If you ever did format it, you _need_ to run cdrecord blank=full
 to make it usable again.

I get the following error trying to blank the DVD-RW media:

Ouch! If you really mean emulate ATAPI devices as SCSI ditto via CAM,
i.e. the 'device atapicam' in kernel config file: it IS present. I think
I already use this _facility_ through cdrecord. As I say, I already write
CD-R (cdrecord) / write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord) / write DVD-R (growisofs)
which all use the device /dev/cd0: CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem.

I use a GENERIC kernel provided with the 5.2.1 release, with just the
following support added:

 If you need information about FreeBSD kernel bugs, ask the
 FreeBSD kernel team!
 
 You definitely need to replace your kernel with a working one!

There was a deficiency in kernel that it does not provided sense codes
automatically, as required by specifications. This problem was fixed in
CVS, but 5.2 and 5.2.1 releases does contain this problem.

dvd+rw-tools were teached to obtain sense information from kernel
manually, so they fully work on 5.2.1. cdrecord relies on working
autosense and thus don't work on 5.2.1.

The help here is not easy. I'd suggest you to upgrade to -CURRENT, if
you're ready to face all the possible problem of running CVS code.
Other posibilities are running FreeBSD 4.x or avoid using cdrecord.

 :-( failed to locate Quick Format descriptor.

2/ When I try to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, I get:
 # dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/cd0
 * DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9.
 * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
 * formatting .:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h]
 : Input/output error
Because the three software I try seems not working, I tend to think that
this particular writer is not (yet?) supported.
Is there something I can do in order to make it working?
The fact that you see failed to locate Quick format descriptor alone 
most likely means that your media is poorly supported by your firmware. 
Then 3/11/05 L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR doesn't make much sense 
either... What media is it anyway (see dvd+rw-mediainfo output for Media 
ID)? Poor media support manifests itself in most bizarre ways. There 
were reports that DVD-RW media acts as write-once, -twice or three 
times. In other workds I'd really recommend to test other media brands, 
preferably explicitly recommended by unit manufacturer, before drawing 
final conclusions. A.

dvd+rw-tools were teached to obtain sense information from kernel
manually, so they fully work on 5.2.1. cdrecord relies on working
autosense and thus don't work on 5.2.1.


I would call this behavior of dvd+rw-tools a bug as the CAM standard
requires auto-sense to work. If FreeBSD is fixed, the modified
dvd+rw-tools will stop working in case it correctly evaluates
error codes.
I can assure FreeBSD users that dvd+rw-tools won't stop working the 
moment the kernel bug in question is fixed. Nor would you have to 
recompile dvd+rw-tools after it's fixed. dvd+rw-tools detect the kernel 
deficiency at run-time and are designed to work in either particular 
situation.

Can one criticize dvd+rw-tools for so to say sweeping the bug under the 
carpet, which might have indirectly complicated life for other 
applications and their developers? Well, one could *if* it was done 
silently. But it wasn't. Thorough problem analysis was presented to the 
public on a FreeBSD list (see 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-December/007424.html) 
the moment this [non-intrusive] workaround was introduced in 
dvd+rw-tools 5.15.x update. The problem description explicitly mentions 
that *all* recording applications are affected, thus depicting how 
serious problem is. A.

Am I doing something wrong or is my TEAC DV-W22E writer the problem (not

Since I am new to DVD recording, maybe I don't know the best information
that might help you to diagnose the origin of this problem.

 Note that the program called dvdrecord is an illegal program RedHat
 that does not work.

Ok.

Thanks for your help,

 It does not seem that you really used cdrecord-ProDVD!

Ok, sorry for the _bad_ information. Here is what I get if I try to use
cdrecord-ProDVD (obtained from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/
cdrecord-prodvd-2.01a24-i386-unknown-freebsd5.2), see below.

 It is absolutely not recommended to format DVD-RW media.

I try to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, this is why I
try (wihout success) to format it using:
 # dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0

 If you ever did format it, you _need_ to run cdrecord blank=full
 to make it usable again.

I get the following error trying to blank the DVD-RW media:

You areusing a defektive kernel!

Ouch! If you really mean emulate ATAPI devices as SCSI ditto via CAM,
i.e. the 'device atapicam' in kernel config file: it IS present. I think
I already use this _facility_ through cdrecord. As I say, I already write
CD-R (cdrecord) / write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord) / write DVD-R (growisofs)
which all use the device /dev/cd0: CDROM driver for the CAM SCSI subsystem.

I use a GENERIC kernel provided with the 5.2.1 release, with just the
following support added:
 ### Added by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

There was a deficiency in kernel that it does not provided sense codes

dvd+rw-tools were teached to obtain sense information from kernel

Cdrecord works perfectly with this drive. You howver need a working
kernel if you like to use cdrecord.because cdrecord evaluates
error codes and the SCSI protocol is a protocol that relies on correct
error codes that simply provide a way to return some special status back
to the application.

But it seems _not_possible_ to write (or rewrite or blank etc.) a DVD-RW.

1/ For example, when I try to blank a DVD-RW in sequential mode, I get:
 # dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0
 * DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9.
 :-( failed to locate Quick Format descriptor.
 * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
 * blanking |:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h]:

2/ When I try to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, I get:
 # dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/cd0
 * DVD±RW format utility by [EMAIL PROTECTED], version 4.9.
 * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
 * formatting .:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h]
 : Input/output error
Because the three software I try seems not working, I tend to think that
this particular writer is not (yet?) supported.
Is there something I can do in order to make it working?
The fact that you see failed to locate Quick format descriptor alone 
most likely means that your media is poorly supported by your firmware. 
Then 3/11/05 L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR doesn't make much sense 
either... What media is it anyway (see dvd+rw-mediainfo output for Media 
ID)? Poor media support manifests itself in most bizarre ways. There 
were reports that DVD-RW media acts as write-once, -twice or three 
times. In other workds I'd really recommend to test other media brands, 
preferably explicitly recommended by unit manufacturer, before drawing 
final conclusions. A.

I can assure FreeBSD users that dvd+rw-tools won't stop working the 
moment the kernel bug in question is fixed. Nor would you have to 
recompile dvd+rw-tools after it's fixed. dvd+rw-tools detect the kernel 
deficiency at run-time and are designed to work in either particular 
situation.

Can one criticize dvd+rw-tools for so to say sweeping the bug under the 
carpet, which might have indirectly complicated life for other 
applications and their developers? Well, one could *if* it was done 
silently. But it wasn't. Thorough problem analysis was presented to the 
public on a FreeBSD list (see 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-December/007424.html) 
the moment this [non-intrusive] workaround was introduced in 
dvd+rw-tools 5.15.x update. The problem description explicitly mentions 
that *all* recording applications are affected, thus depicting how 
serious problem is. A.

It is interesting to note that the only media to report correctly its
Media ID is a new (never touched) media. Even on the correctly burned
DVD-R media the Media ID is not provided by dvd+rw-mediainfo...

I don't think my problems were related to the quality of the TDK
DVD-R/RW. What do you think?

Thanks,

Because you are harsh to everyone, whether they are new to the list, old 
to the list, have any expertise or none.  The purpose of my posting was 
to urge the poster to continue to pursue his problems, inspite of the 
harshness of your responses.

But WHY do you try to denegrative me?
Hardly.  You have created a wonderful tool, and I respect your knowledge 
and skill immensely.  BUT, I wish you would treat people on the list 
with simple common respect for the common human being.
