--- Begin Message ---Hello. I recently started to try and burn DVD video on DVD-RW discs. But after two 'dvd+rw-format', it didn't work anymore, i.e. $ dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/hdb outputs: * DVD?RW format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.9. :-( failed to locate "Quick Format" descriptor. :-( can't locate appropriate format descriptor * 34.0GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. * blanking /:-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error On another disk with the same problem, I tried the other options ('-force', '-blank=full', etc.), and at some point the blanking finished without the error message, but the disk is still useless as $ growisofs -Z /dev/hdb=img.iso outputs: Executing 'builtin_dd if=img.iso of=/dev/hdb obs=32k seek=0' :-( none Mode 1 track Looking on the web, I found only one page where a similar problem was discussed, but without providing an explanation or solution. That other person had a 'Plextor PX708A' writer. Mine is an 'MSI DR4-A'. Info: $ growisofs --version * growisofs by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 5.19, front-ending to mkisofs: mkisofs 2.01a29-unofficial-iconv (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Debian GNU/Linux (kernel 2.6.7) Thanks for any help and best regards.
