dvd+rw-tools Write Error

2004-10-15 Thread Bikrant Neupane
Hi,
I have been using dvd+rw-tool for writing data in dvds for more than 7-8 
months without any problem. I am running Red Hat Linux 7.2 with 2.4.24.
I have no problem with HP dvd+rw 4.7GB (1x/2x) disc.
But I came into this problem with new Memorex DVD+RW 4.7 Gb discs.
I am using dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8 and Polaroid DVD Drive.

This is the command I use to burn dvds
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=backup.iso

And the error I am getting with the new dvds:
# ./growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/scd0=/backup/Encrypted-iso/backup.iso

Looks to me like your new media simply isn't compatible with your drive,
based on the fact the the previous brand of media works and that the
error occurs as soon as you actually start writing. Simple fix: use
media which works with your burner.

However I don't know what all the funny numbers in your other output
mean, they could be telling a different story.

Are you at the latest firmware revision? And who actually makes this

Well I haven't upgraded the firmware. It is working fine. I am having problem 
only with new Memorex media.

If it doesn't support certain brands of media then I would think it isn't
"working fine," and is a candidate for upgrade. If the firmware doesn't
support the media (properly) it's sometimes better to upgrade than to
shop for old media, particularly if the media in question works for
other people.

Your choice, of course.
