The wait is 2:45min instead of the expected 0:45min, and only the first time ever the media is used. Who cares... > and then use cdrecord -force to write ignoring > the visible media size. Good tip for cdrecord. Not required with growisofs. > With DVD+R, it may be that there is the same finalizing problem as with > the Plextor 708 I burn DVD+R on a Pioneer 106 with growisofs -dvd-compat with no such problems.
