I've been using growisofs for some months, and I've been quite happy, thanks Andy!
During those months, I found out that my stand-alone DVD-player (Cyber Home CH-DVD 402) is not able to play DVD+R media, but it is able to play DVD-R media (and DVD-RW, DVD+RW). The DVD+R media I burn plays happily in the stand-alone DVD-player of a friend of mine, but not in mine, even though I think I tried everything Andy suggests on his help page (including -dvd-video). For some reason, DVD-R media seems to be less available and more expensive in this neighborhood than DVD+R. This is why I bought this media "Sentinel DVD-R4.7". When I try to burn something it tells me (even with -speed=1): :-[ LBA=0h, SENSE KEY=5h/ASC=30h/ASCQ=05h ] :-[ media is not formatted or unsupported ] :-( write failed: Invalid argument Is there something else I could try to get growisofs working with this media? Or should I try cdrecord-ProDVD? According to Andy's page it uses a different strategy (Disk-at-once) to write... Or should I try some software under windows? Which one? Or is it my burner, which is uncompatible with this media? Here is the mediainfo: ------------------------------------------------------------ INQUIRY: [_NEC ][DVD_RW ND-1300A ][1.05] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 11h, DVD-R Sequential READ DVD STRUCTURE[#E]: MediaID: DDD DVDR Current Write Speed: 706KB/s, 0.5x Write Speed Descrip#0: 2822KB/s, 2.0x Write Speed Descrip#1: 1411KB/s, 1.0x Write Speed Descrip#2: 706KB/s, 0.5x READ DVD STRUCTURE[#10h]: Media Book Type: 25h, DVD-R book [revision 5] Legacy lead-out at: 2298495*2KB=4707317760 READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 25h, DVD-R book [revision 5] Last border-out at: 2298495*2KB=4707317760 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: 2297888*2KB Track Size: 2297888*2KB ------------------------------------------------------- And finally a tricky (?) one: Did I actually burn something to this media, or is it completely empty?
