Hi,

does anybody know howto write more than 1 session onto a DVD with
cdrecord-ProDVD.
(I know it's possible with growisofs)

Many thanks for a hint

cdrecord-ProDVD 2.01.01a01 Linux binary has expired!

2006-01-08 Thread Klaus Elmquist Nielsen

Hi Jörg,

This mail is mostly for you as you are the only one who can solve the 
problem.


The most recent cdrecord-ProDVD version is an alpha binary and is more 
than one year old. Hence it has expired now! That this is the case can 
be seen from berlios ftp server listing:
   -rwxrwxr-x   1 ftp  ftp376924 Jan  5  2005 
cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01-i686-pc-linux-gnu


I did notice that the license/binary timeout shows itself in a little 
cryptic way, namely as a long wait followed by a "faio_wait_on_buffer 
for writer timed out" error message and an Alarm Clock "abort".


I know this behaviour is documented in 
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README but it would be really 
appreciated (by me at least) if a future version of cdrecord-ProDVD did 
produce a clear error message in case of license problems.


Better yet, do away with the license checks! ;-)

Cheers,
Klaus

2005-10-22 Thread scdbackup
Hi,

it's 2005 Oct 22 21:27:16 and my copy of cdrecord-ProDVD went
on strike ("Alarm clock").

I read in ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README :
"As I am not sure if people will follow my licensing rules, so these
keys are time limited and will expire on 2005 Oct 22 18:53:20
I will continue to make private/educational/research use free,
but it may be that you need to request your private key for free
after 2005 Oct 22 18:53:20."

and in ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/cdrecord-wrapper.sh :
"#  Key Expires ---> 2005 Oct 22 18:53:20"

I hereby request a license key for free for private/research use.
If there is already a new license key uploaded then its URL would
be highly appreciated.


Have a nice day :)

Re: Cdrecord-ProDVD, burning DVD+RW fails

2005-09-09 Thread F. Kappen
Hi all,

after numerous trials and studying the READMEs and mailing-lists
concerning  "cdrecord-prodvd" I haven't succeeded burning my DVDs with
"cdrecord-prodvd ". So I switched to "growisofs". "growisofs" is
relatively simple and has not such a rich flavour of features like
"cdrecord-prodvd" has, but it works, serves my needs  and I am
completely satisfied.

Cdrecord-ProDVD, burning DVD+RW fails

2005-09-05 Thread F. Kappen
Hi all,

I use a notebook running Debian-woody (kernel 2.4.26). Attached to it
via USB is an external DVD writer (LG, GSA-5163D) . DVD+RWs and CDs can
be mounted and read, but writing doesn't work. The software I use for
writing is the binary "cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01-i686-pc-linux-gnu".

The external writer is on scsibus1:

I can't mount the dvd on my dvdrw drive.

On the other hand I can mount it my dvdr-rom drive. The command 
  find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | grep FAIL
does not find problem, but I get I/O errors in syslog:

And now the drive seems to be stuck. Even a plain 'ls' hangs. I guess that
I'll have to reboot soon.

Anyway, I'll trash the faulty dvds.

Since my dvd burner is able to burn other brands of dvd correctly and
that I can burn the dubious media on an HP burner without problem, I
tend towards the 3) explanation.

I get plenty of IO errors on the rw drive and no problem on the
read-only drive. 

Anyway, I'll trash the moviestyle dvds and use another brand.

The other thing which comes to mind is that the burner may still have
certain media parameters cached. This is flushed on eject, when the disk
is inserted again the drive needs to "re-acquire".

I can only come to one of these 3 conclusions: 1) the drive is faulty.
2) The media is faulty to start with, and is certainly faulty now. 3)
The drive is unable to burn that particular media correctly, but it's
close to borderline (otherwise there would be a total failure).

In either of these cases the burnt disk is a coaster and not suitable as
backup.

Whenever there is read trouble and you're unsuere whether it's to do
with the filesystem, *always* disregard the filesystem and read with dd
directly from the device, like dd bs=2k if=/dev/dvdrecorder
of=/dev/null. You're allowed *one* I/O error at the very end of the
recording. Any more, and either or both drive and disk are faulty. There
is basically no leeway for other options here if you care about your
data.

It's not a license key issue.  I checked that first, and we've got the
key from February 2005.

The alpha releases have built-in expiration dates, and they will simply
stop working after a time regardless of how recent the key is.

Hi,

i resolved my "alarm clock" by downloading only
the current wrapper script 
 ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/cdrecord-wrapper.sh
which obviously contains the new license key.
(Saying: "Key Expires ---> 2005 Oct 22 18:53:20")

I did not have to get a new cdrecord-ProDVD binary.
(still "Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01b31 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)")
Of course this will not bring you further than 2.01a27
with HP-UX.

expired cdrecord-ProDVD builds for HP-UX

2005-05-13 Thread Greg Wooledge
One of my coworkers recently noticed the infamous "Alarm clock" error
from cdrecord-ProDVD on our HP-UX workstations.  She's been using
cdrecord-ProDVD 2.01a27 which is the newest version available on the
berlios FTP site for HP-UX.  Apparently, this alpha release is expired,
and there is no 2.01 release to take its place for HP-UX yet.  I advised
her to change the symbolic link to point to the 2.0 version instead.

Is Joerg planning to release newer versions of cdrecord-ProDVD for
HP-UX 10.20, or are we stuck with 2.0 forever?

Reading the error/warning output could. I quoted the relevant part
above. You're using the unbelievably old, very, very deprecated "ATAPI"
device interface. This API does not support DMA at all. The fact that
using_dma is on is irrelevant; this API disables DMA no matter what.

Solution: Address the drive as "ATA:0,0,0" instead of "ATAPI:0,0,0".
Note: Noone can guarantee that DMA will work using ATA:. The Linux
kernel drivers seem to be generally crappy in this area. But with this
API, there's at least a theoretical chance for DMA.

@JÃrg: Is it actually useful to keep this interface around? Any
real-world reason to use it? I suggest removing it and aliasing ATAPI:
to ATA: in future versions.

cdrecord-prodvd also fails to write Moviestyle dvd (was: Cannot read anymore dvd after eject and re-load)

2005-05-09 Thread Dominique Dumont

Hello

Following the problems I got with Moviestyles DVD+R, I've tried
cdrecord-pro.

In dummy mode everything looks fine. But, dvd-record failed to write
in readl mode: I ended with a mountable dvd with no data ?!?!?!

Here's the output of the dummy mode.

I have to add a small correction: cdrecord has written the beginning
of the iso image: I have the directory content and a small part of the
first file. The other files are empty:

The only way would be to
- retrieve both lists
- check if one is nonsense (like listing CD write speeds when DVD media
  is mounted, that's what NEC is doing)
- discard the nonsense list, if there is any
- try to set all speeds which are left and check if the speed was
  accepted by the drive, unless the drive is unable to report the current
  speed setting (like LG). Don't ask me how to do that automatically,
  I don't know (yet).

OK, good to know. Any way around this?

cdrecord-prodvd only tries to burn at 6x, which means it's basically useless.

growisofs is a _little_ more compatible. With some discs, it'll let me choose 
a speed, and it'll actually work -- others, I can only choose certain speeds.

NEC 35x0 drives report crap answers on mode_sense page 2A when DVD media
is mounted. The available write speeds on DVDs can only be requested using 
get_performance.

cdrecord-prodvd relies on mode_sense at the moment, meaning that it cannot

NEC ND-3520A - Speed issues in cdrecord-prodvd and growisofs

2005-03-16 Thread Rodney Gordon II
Hi all,

I recently picked up a NEC ND-3520A and I am having speed problems with this 
drive under linux. A quick "just to make sure" test in WinXP shows that these 
errors are indeed specific to cdrecord-prodvd and growisofs.

The media I am using MID is "PRODISC/R03" and I can burn this media perfectly 
in WinXP using Nero at 4/6/8/12x. Under linux, however, I see a few different 
things:

Regarding cdrecord-prodvd, this drive shows up as only being able to write at 
6x max. I am using the latest release of this software, and at the bottom of 
this post is a -prcap output.

Regarding growisofs, dvd+rw-mediainfo shows that in Speed Descriptor #0-3 that 
this media indeed can be burned at 4/6/8/12x, however oddly enough under "GET 
[CURRENT] CONFIGURATION:" the "Write Speed" descriptions only go up to 6x -- 
However, when growisofs is executed it WILL burn this media at 12x, but 
unfortunately I wish to burn this media at 8x; specifying -speed=8 does 
nothing but burn this media at 12x again. dvd+rw-mediainfo output is at the 
bottom of this post.

I hope that with this info I can help get these two problems resolved with the 
NEC ND-3520A burner. If you need more info or testing, I will be happy to 
help.

Problem with cdrecord-ProDVD recording speed [REPOST]

2004-12-18 Thread Roberto Sebastiano
Sorry if I repost this message, but I found that this is a 
common problem and I can't find a solution on the net.


I have a NEC 3500 Dvd Writer.
I have problems with the recording speed.
I tried two different brands of dvd-r (one from princo that is certified
for 4x recording, and one from philips that is certified for 8x), but
cdrecord-ProDVD always writes the DVDs at 6x speed.

Here is the output of the program; tell me if I can supply additional
debugging data.

Why it writes at 6x while I stated -speed=4 ? (the same if -speed=8)

Re: cdrecord-ProDVD key expired?

2004-05-03 Thread Brian Sullivan
I saw saw a little note about the format of a request
for a permanent key somewhere once, maybe it was in  
his readme file. You need to specify the operating
system and some other things. The main thing you need
to specify though is a valid reason why you can't keep
using a key that expires. I have requested keys from
him numerous times. My reason for the request was that
my company is using it for commercial gain. He hasn't
replied to any of my recent requests. I did manage to
get one permanent key from  him several years back.
While his license may state non-commercial use he
seems to be ok with allowing it to be used
commercially. If anyone knows different then please
share.

In order to get a permanent key one has to request Joerg Schilling,
the author. I would also like to have a key for cdrecord-ProDVD for
Linux system. I wonder if anybody has ever had any success in getting 
one from Joerg. Please let me know if anybody has. 

Joerg, I wonder if you can respond to this, letting people know 
about your policy of entertaining the requests for such permanent
keys and the procedure.

A colleague of mine has also attempted to get permanent keys from Joerg,
without success.  He's with a commercial entity (a business associate

cdrecord-ProDVD key expired?

2004-05-03 Thread Greg Wooledge
I'm getting the infamous "Alarm clock" error during the countdown
when trying to burn with cdrecord-ProDVD.  I've got the key from
the README file (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README)
which was updated on 2004-01-26... and it's only May.  Is this key
expired already?

Once again, what's the procedure for getting a *real* (non-expiring)
key?  We'd be willing to buy one for our organization if necessary.
We're a deparment within a large but non-profit hospital.  We burn
data CDs and occasionally DVDs for both doctors and patients.

Details:  This is an HP-UX 10.20 system.  I've burned using this software
on this computer with the same hardware many, many time.  This looks
precisely like the error I get when a cdrecord-ProDVD key expires.

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...) :(

Thanks,

Keep in mind that these 2 media are in these _states_ because I try to
blank them with software:
 - one with "dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0";
 - the other using "./cdrecord-wrapper.sh -v -blank=all dev=3,0,0".

Yes, I buy 2 packs TDK: one contained 5 DVD-R, the other 5 DVD-RW. So,

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.

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?

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...) :(

Thanks,

Keep in mind that these 2 media are in these _states_ because I try to
blank them with software:
 - one with "dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0";
 - the other using "./cdrecord-wrapper.sh -v -blank=all dev=3,0,0".

Yes, I buy 2 packs TDK: one contained 5 DVD-R, the other 5 DVD-RW. So,
I can confirm... :(

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,

Joerg simply told the user to use a working kernel, which is the only

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

cdrecord blank=full 

on it...

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. I've decided to give a try to -CURRENT in order to be able to write
some DVD-RW.

Then, and because I seem to be lucky these days, maybe I now have a 'fine'
kernel... but I also have a broken system (argh!) :(

2004-04-11 Thread Andy Polyakov
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

If I can understand the problem relating to the internal bug with the
FreeBSD kernel (and not using cdrecord-proDVD), what may be wrong here?
Am I missing something?

I'm not absolutely sure but I guess only growisofs accounts for the
kernel deficiency and not dvd+rw-format. Andy?
*All* dvd+rw-tools account for kernel deficiency. Reported failure to 
format/blank media is believed to be media problem [at least till it's 
proven otherwise by testing other brand]. A.

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

Fact is that you like to use this kernel for CD/DVD writing.

As (beacause of named bug) your kernel is absolutely unusable, you have to 
decide whether you like to keep the broken kernel of whether you like to
write CD/DVDs.

This can explain why I succeed writing a DVD-R using "growisofs"; but not
to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, nor change back to
the sequential format using "dvd+rw-format".

Maybe I will reconsider my position on using the -RELEASE. As I said
before: maybe this will resolve this particular problem, but running
a -CURRENT has some other disavantages!... :-\

Because this is related to a bug, is it not possible to integrate a
patch for this in the security advisories and other critical fixes
branch for RELENG_5_2?

For the second part of your answer, I already succeed to:
 - write CD-R (cdrecord);
 - write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord);
 - write a DVD-R (growisofs).

So, as stated by Jörg Schilling in a previous post:
 "Of course this bug caused cdrecord to fail in nearly all situations.
  If cdrecord did work with the buggy OS, it was pure luck."
Maybe is it some luck, but it seems to run correctly...

Because this is a _release_, and running the -CURRENT (CVS) version
seems to me more dangerous than staying with this version. Note that
the release may be buggy for some part (as for the point here) but not
for others. Other than this particular problem, I'm very happy with
this FreeBSD-RELEASE. But I understand your point of view.

My question now is: "If I understand why cdrecord-DVD isn't working
whith this release; why seems it not working with dvd+rwtools too?"

The notebook, in which there is the DVD writer I want to use, is relatively
new... and I never had a DVD writer before. On the other hand, Pav
Lucistnik has explained that this was corrected for now, so...

> It seems that you did not use cdrecord but dvd+rwtools and for this

I try to use dvd+rwtools in the first place because I follow the directions
provided by the FreeBSD Handbook and because there is a FreeBSD port in
order to managed its installation/upgrade process. Since it seems not
to run as expected for me, I searched an other tool, and because I was very
happy with cdrecord for CD-R/-RW in the past, I decided to give a try to
cdrecord-proDVD (even if there is not a port yet: this is the reason for
using the binary version of this program). That's all.

Thanks for your answers,

You should really go to a working version of FreeBSD instead. Note that
you'll hit this problem on CD-R too, and dvd+rw-tools don't do CD-R.
Can you blank a CD-RW using cdrecord? Does cdrdao works for you? There
are no alternatives to these programs.

This sounds strange!

Why do you like to stay with a broken OS and as a result not being able to
use youe hardware?

In addition, you should have noted immediately after "upgrading" to the broken
OS release and send out a bug report as well as downgraded back to the previous 
release.

It seems that you did not use cdrecord but dvd+rwtools and for this reason
did not realize your problems early enough..

FreeBSD developers usually take care about problems. I don't know however why
they did introduce a fatal bug that they should know about even before testing.

Of course this bug caused cdrecord to fail in nearly all situations.

TEAC DV-W22E R.0A

But it seems _not_possible_ to write (or rewrite or blank etc.) a DVD-RW.
 dvd+rw-tools-5.19.4.9.7

 :-( 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 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.

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.

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

Fact is that you like to use this kernel for CD/DVD writing.

As (beacause of named bug) your kernel is absolutely unusable, you have to 
decide whether you like to keep the broken kernel of whether you like to
write CD/DVDs.

This can explain why I succeed writing a DVD-R using "growisofs"; but not

For the second part of your answer, I already succeed to:

So, as stated by Jörg Schilling in a previous post:

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]:

The binary obtained from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/
contains the string "i386-unknown-freebsd5.2". Is there a difference
between FreeBSD-5.2 and FreeBSD-5.2.1 which can explain my error?

Because this is a _release_, and running the -CURRENT (CVS) version
seems to me more dangerous than staying with this version. Note that
the release may be buggy for some part (as for the point here) but not
for others. Other than this particular problem, I'm very happy with
this FreeBSD-RELEASE. But I understand your point of view.

My question now is: "If I understand why cdrecord-DVD isn't working
whith this release; why seems it not working with dvd+rwtools too?"

> In addition, you should have noted immediately after "upgrading" to the

The notebook, in which there is the DVD writer I want to use, is relatively
new... and I never had a DVD writer before. On the other hand, Pav
Lucistnik has explained that this was corrected for now, so...

> It seems that you did not use cdrecord but dvd+rwtools and for this

I try to use dvd+rwtools in the first place because I follow the directions
provided by the FreeBSD Handbook and because there is a FreeBSD port in
order to managed its installation/upgrade process. Since it seems not
to run as expected for me, I searched an other tool, and because I was very
happy with cdrecord for CD-R/-RW in the past, I decided to give a try to
cdrecord-proDVD (even if there is not a port yet: this is the reason for
using the binary version of this program). That's all.

Thanks for your answers,

I have no problem other than my DVD writer. I just wanted to know why
the program provided isn't working for me. I now have an answer, not
very good for me :), but that is the answer. And thanks for the prompt

I'm not absolutely sure but I guess only growisofs accounts for the

You should really go to a working version of FreeBSD instead. Note that
you'll hit this problem on CD-R too, and dvd+rw-tools don't do CD-R.
Can you blank a CD-RW using cdrecord? Does cdrdao works for you? There
are no alternatives to these programs.

This sounds strange!

Why do you like to stay with a broken OS and as a result not being able to
use youe hardware?

In addition, you should have noted immediately after "upgrading" to the broken
OS release and send out a bug report as well as downgraded back to the previous 
release.

It seems that you did not use cdrecord but dvd+rwtools and for this reason
did not realize your problems early enough..

FreeBSD developers usually take care about problems. I don't know however why
they did introduce a fatal bug that they should know about even before testing.

Of course this bug caused cdrecord to fail in nearly all situations.
If cdrecord did work with the buggy OS, it was pure luck.

... not really. In this particular case: a choice between

or
