I have a NEC ND-3520A DVD burner, using firmware 3.05, and growisofs does not recognise any of my Verbatim DVD-R DL dics as recordable:
:-( /dev/hdc: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 10015 And under GNOME's Nautilus desktop, it appears with a CD-ROM icon. However, dvd+rw-mediainfo gives the following information: INQUIRY: [_NEC ][DVD_RW ND-3520AW][3.05] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 15h, DVDunknown Current Write Speed: 6.1x1385=8467KB/s Write Speed #0: 6.1x1385=8467KB/s Write Speed #1: 5.1x1385=7056KB/s Write Speed #2: 4.1x1385=5645KB/s Write Speed #3: 3.1x1385=4234KB/s Write Speed #4: 2.0x1385=2822KB/s Write Speed #5: 1.0x1385=1411KB/s GET [CURRENT] PERFORMANCE: Write Performance: 4.0x1385=5540KB/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> 4171104] Speed Descriptor#0: 00/4171104 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/4171104 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 26h, DVD-R book [revision 6] Legacy lead-out at: 2092896*2KB=4286251008 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: invisible incremental Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 4171104*2KB Track Size: 4171104*2KB READ CAPACITY: 1*2048=2048 Is this simply a case of trying different media, or something specific to the fact that it's a dual layer disc? DVD+R discs are recognised without problem.
