I observed some anomalies as well, where one command gave a SCSI error and the same command works fine, after ejecting and reloading the disk. Try that. You also need to say what media you have. Come to think of it, I wrote a dvd-rw with firmware 2.0c and Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a12, but as it was a new disk and it worked first time I haven't tried to blank it yet. Haven't tried to write a dvd+rw on the Sony either (if the drive was available to me I'd try it out). Did you ever try to get the packet writing going? Jörg says DVD+R(W) support is new and shaky, if you are indeed using DVD+RW, support for that may not be complete on the Sony yet. :( You should report this to Jörg (mentally prepare yourself for a very rude response but report is anyway).

Re: [Dvdrtools-users] Help with Sony DRX-500ULX drive
I've been playing with prodvd and it isn't completely reliable. I am having problems blanking a disk. Also as said here... The drive supports tao but for some reason I can't write in TAO. cdrecord-wrapper just called cdrecord-prodvd. Here is the output of some blank commands.
