Hello, I am using a TEAC DV-W22E R.0A on my notebook, which is a all in one CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW player and writer. My main OS is FreeBSD 5.2.1 (RELEASE-p4) and I already succeed in:
- write CD-R (cdrecord); - write/rewrite CD-RW (cdrecord); - write a DVD-R (growisofs). But it seems _not_possible_ to write (or rewrite or blank etc.) a DVD-RW. Here is the exact version of software I try to use: # portversion -v | grep -i "dvd+rw-tools" dvd+rw-tools-5.19.4.9.7 # cdrecord -version Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i386-unknown-freebsd5.2.1) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling # cdrecord-prodvd -version Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a24 (i386-unknown-freebsd5.2) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling # dvdrtools -version [...] Based on: Cdrecord 1.11a15 (i386-unknown-freebsd5.1) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling I followed the steps from the documentation, especially those: - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ creating-dvds.html - http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ - ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/README - http://machiel.generaal.net/index.php?subject=dvdrtools 1/ For example, when I try to blank a DVD-RW in sequential mode, I get: # dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/cd0 * DVD±RW format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.9. :-( failed to locate "Quick Format" descriptor. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * blanking |:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h]: Input/output error 2/ When I try to put a DVD-RW in the restricted overwrite format, I get: # dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/cd0 * DVD±RW format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.9. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * formatting .:-[ READ TRACK INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=11h/ACQ=05h] : Input/output error Because the three software I try seems not working, I tend to think that this particular writer is not (yet?) supported. Is there something I can do in order to make it working? Thanks in advance for your replies, -- -jpeg.
