[expert] cdrecord woes

I've got a refurbished Yamaha CDRW 4x4x16 at home that makes beautiful CDs most of the time. 'Course I don't use MKISOFS, as what I'm burning is already in an ISO format (so far.) I've made numerous CDs of three different distributions of Linux, and with 4 exceptions all have verified OK on my sys

Ok, I have *a* particular file that is consistently corrupted by it; I have some other files that work ok. Unfortunately my test file is copyrighted. But I'll try to dig up a file that I can legally post as a sample that is consistently corrupted and maybe we can see if anybody else sees the sa

Perhaps an incompatibility, then, but simply using different versions oof those two problems fixes the problem. The mkisofs that works is 1.12b3 (based on the "-v" flag) the cdrecord is 1.53 (based on the "strings" info). I can try doing mkisofs to the loopback device if it's of interest to you

Brian, I just installed cdrecord 1.8 and then xcdroast and it's working fine. I first uninstalled the default rpm's from 6.1. As a test I burned a copy of some windows clipart cd, and it worked just fine. I have a Ricoh 7060S CDR/RW and a NEC 465. (both scsi, internal, via a 2940 Adaptec) Btw,

As a first try, you might want to try giving the -force option and see whether that works for you. But, once again, as seems to happen so often on this list, a topic comes up just as I am about to bring up the subject myself. I am having some severe problems with writing CDs under Mandrake 7.0;
