Quoting http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/hcn.html: "... Unit [Optorite DD020x] seems to fail to resume DVD+RW background formatting transparently. Recommendations are: - install dvd+rw-tools 5.15.x or later; - forget all about dvd+rw-format, growisofs will apply initial formatting procedure whenever appropriate; - stick to growisofs -dvd-compat ...; " > Everytime I invoke growisofs, it goes through the entire writing > process, but then it hangs when flushing the cache at the end (before > closing the track and the session). Do you mean it hangs more longer than 10-15 minutes? > When this problem occurs, I can no longer open the DVD tray > until I power-cycle the computer. But once I reboot and popd the DVD+RW > back in, dvd+rw-mediainfo still shows it as being blank. Sticking to -dvd-compat was the only way to produce reliable results. Reportedly. A.
