Hello, all. I've got a problem burning DVD+R media in my drive. First a little system information:
1.7G Celeron (P4) Sis 645/961 based motherboard 768M memory Sony DRU-710A drive with newest firmware "BYX2" kernel/system is 2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686 on FC2 up2date system burner is on a motherboard IDE connector as the slave to another drive. Source drive is on a promise 20267 based controller PCI card and can source the burn rate worth of data easily. All drives are using DMA. I've tried using both cdrecord-2.01.1-0.FC2.1 dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-1.FC2.1 for burning and growisofs comes the closest to working. I've tired DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD+RW media and only DVD+R has refused to produce good burns. It very well may be a media issue as I'm very new to DVD burning and I just picked up whatever was cheapest. Here is what dvd+rw-mediainfo says about the three kinds of media: DVD-R: INQUIRY: [SONY ][DVD RW DRU-710A ][BYX2] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 11h, DVD-R Sequential Media ID: CMC MAG.

The burn seemed to go nicely at just under 6x on the DVD+R media (marked at 4x on the label). But the files on the media once it's mounted contain a number of errors. But, they form a pattern--or so it seems. If I "dd if=/dev/hdd of=/dev/null bs=2k conv=noerror", I get dd: reading `/dev/hdd': Input/output error 184180+0 records in 184180+0 records out twice and then a string of: dd: reading `/dev/hdd': Input/output error 420786+0 records in 420786+0 records out Are there any further bits of information I could provide or tests I should run to gather information? Thank you. Cheers, David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
