Buffer overruns are *not* denoted with "INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE," and should be handled by application transparently. *Unhandled* buffer underruns in turn *are* denoted as depicted in originating post. How do you come to the conclusion that it's overrun condition?

As previously mentioned, buffer underrun protection appears to be optional for the recording strategy supported by cdrecord-ProDVD, namely DAO. growisofs on the other hand defaults to Incremental recording, where buffer underrun is mandatory: "If BUFE bit is set to 1 [and] the logical unit detects buffer under-run, the logical unit *shall* perform the Lossless-Link." As for using DVD+ instead. Buffer underrun protection is unconditionally on (can't be switched off) in all DVD+ recordings. Yet it should be noted that the reported error condition is rather unusual. As mentioned above it appears as buffer *underrun* condition, but the catch is that underrun condition at the reported LBA is hadly possible... It either have everything to do with the recording strategy (try growisofs) or that particular media brand support by unit firmware (try another media brand). And *if* it's external unit, there is a *remote* possibility that it's subject to special condition observed unser Solaris 8.
