I have an OptoRite DD0203, and I'm having trouble writing DVD+RWs. Everytime I invoke growisofs, it goes through the entire writing process, but then it hangs when flushing the cache at the end (before closing the track and the session). I've tried both the ATAPI and ide-scsi transports, and also firmware versions 2.06 and 2.30, without success. When this problem occurs, I can no longer open the DVD tray until I power-cycle the computer. But once I reboot and popd the DVD+RW back in, dvd+rw-mediainfo still shows it as being blank.
Has anyone else ever encountered this? === start of log === [EMAIL PROTECTED] dtessier $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd INQUIRY: [OPTORITE][DVD RW DD0203 ][2.30] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 1Ah, DVD+RW Current Write Speed: 2.4x1385=3324KB/s Write Speed #0: 1.0x1385=1385KB/s Write Speed #1: 2.0x1385=2770KB/s Write Speed #2: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s :-( unit fails to report current write performance Speed Descriptor#0: 00/144703 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/144703 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 92h, DVD+RW book [revision 2] Media ID: RICKHJPN/W11 Legacy lead-out at: 2295104*2KB=4700372992 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: blank Track Start Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 2295104*2KB Track Size: 2295104*2KB [EMAIL PROTECTED] dtessier $ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/media/pics.iso Executing 'builtin_dd if=/media/pics.iso of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0' /dev/dvd: pre-formatting blank DVD+RW... /dev/dvd: "Current Write Speed" is 2.5x1385KBps. 20152320/2657017856 ( 0.8%) @4.3x, remaining 13:05 31293440/2657017856 ( 1.2%) @2.4x, remaining 12:35 42401792/2657017856 ( 1.6%) @2.3x, remaining 13:21 53542912/2657017856 ( 2.0%) @2.4x, remaining 12:57 64651264/2657017856 ( 2.4%) @2.3x, remaining 12:41 [snip...] 2609446912/2657017856 (98.2%) @2.3x, remaining 0:14 2620588032/2657017856 (98.6%) @2.4x, remaining 0:10 2631729152/2657017856 (99.0%) @2.4x, remaining 0:07 2642870272/2657017856 (99.5%) @2.4x, remaining 0:04 2654011392/2657017856 (99.9%) @2.4x, remaining 0:00 builtin_dd: 1297376*2KB out /dev/dvd: flushing cache -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
