Well, we can only wish that all vendors return same error codes in same situations.

Timeout means that the unit failed to figure out what to do with media within reasonable time...

Track size of 1 makes no sense. DVD ECC block size is 32KB and Track size should always be N*16*2KB. It might make sense to block signals in the beginning of recording in next update... > By the way, I do not get any medium atip info for DVD+R Next update will show media manufacturer id even for DVD+media.
