For public reference. The output from above command is expected to start with: 0000000 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 * 0100000 001 C D 0 0 1 001 \0 Note that 1st 32K, from 0 to 0100000 (octal!), are all zeros, followed by a volume descriptor identified by CD001 signature. > > Does kernel log anything at this moment?

It turned out to be a logical format issue and therefore not exactly related to dvd+rw-tools. Advice would have to be if you've pre-mastered an iso-image with another [GUI] front-end, verify it by loopback mounting it prior recording.
