>X-Original-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >I just purchased a new dual format DVD burner. It is an Utmost >Technology unit. As I understand this drive is distributed by >several manufacturers. I purchased the first unit on Friday and I >was not able to get it to work correctly so I returned it as >defective for an exchange. The second drive exhibits the same >behavior as the first.

... >I have several DVD+RW drives. A HP dvd300i, and a few HP dvd100i >units. Most of these are connected through firewire bridges. This >DD0203 unit is currently installed directly to the IDE bus.

But the files will all return seek errors like below. >scsi0: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Request Sense 00 00 00 >40 00 >Current sd0b:00: sense key Medium Error >Additional sense indicates No seek complete > I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 52996 >These errors are typical of the burned DVD+RW from other drives as >well.
