seeming that my woe may stem from the drive itself I swapped out drives with a Pioneer DVR-A06U.
trying serveral methods of burning both with dvd-r and dvd+r media, I'm getting the same results. Below is output from one burn test, -dao flag thrown, but I can say this .. I get the same results pretty much with any flags I throw. cdrecord -v -dao dev=1,0,0 speed=2 /var/system/win32ahc.iso Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a12 (i386-pc-solaris2.9) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 J�rg Schilling Unlocked features: ProDVD Clone Limited features: This copy of cdrecord is licensed for: private/research/educational_non-commerci al_use TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 Warning: Using USCSI interface.

But I can't agree that all of the above is >"definitely wrong." I am as verbose as you have been..... It is obvious that "INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE" is a possible result of a buffer underun. I don't know what you mean by handling buffer underrun transparently in an application? >> It is relatively easy to prove the oposite! >What is easy to refute? That "buffer underrun protection can't be >switched off in DVD+? Or that "support for buffer underrun protection is >mandatory for Incremental mode"? Or that "buffer underrun protection is >optional in DAO mode"? Burn proof can be switched on for DVD- Please tell me why you are constantly writing wrong things trying people to convince that DAO mode is worse then the packet Mode used by DVD+? If you don't know enough about the behaviour of DVD- drives just stay silent. It is simple to prove that e.g. Pioneer and Toshiba drives have a well working buffer underrun protection for DVD- in DAO. >> My tests with burnproof active did show that it works for DVD SAO writing. >We have discussed this already. My experiments with initial SONY 500 >firmware has shown opposite, at least with real(!) recording. It most Well, then the Sony just has a broken firmware. Why should there be a buffer underrun protection mechanism if not to exactly protect against the only write mode that would suffer from BUs? >> The recording strategy used by growisofs gives less compatibility as >> it does not write in SAO mode. >We have discussed it too.

If you admid that we didcussed this already, why then do you constantly insist in writing that growisofs is better?
