I wondered if booktype settings apply to both DVD- and DVD+, or DVD+ only. Given the dvd+rw-mediainfo output you provided, the answer is both. I just wanted to be sure, that's all. > It does seem to restrict the book type depending on the current media. > At least, when I try to change DVD+RW media to DVD-RW book, it gives > me an error: Perfect. > # scsi -f /dev/rcd1c -c 'fa 00 32 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 aa ff' Could you try scsi -f /dev/rcd1c -c 'fa 00 32 00 00 00 00 00 00 00'? As already mentioned the command seems to be 10 bytes long, 'aa ff' appears rather as dummy padding than meaningfull part of the command. I also wonder if you can try 'fa 00 32 00 01 00 00 00 00 00'? > The "-s 3" option sets the timeout to 3 seconds.
