Hi, Its strange - growisofs suddenly stopped being able to burn DVD+R discs on my new Liteon 1693S.
Please note that Nero works absolutely as normal on Windoze. growisofs worked ONCE when I backed up my stuff onto a DVD+R disc. Now, it doesn't work! Wierd! Here is the error message that keeps coming up: # growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -udf -speed=1 4GB/ Executing 'mkisofs -udf 4GB/ | builtin_dd of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0' /dev/sr0: "Current Write Speed" is 3.3x1385KBps. :-[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with SK=2h/ASC=04h/ACQ=01h]: No medium found :-( write failed: No medium found Note that the identical command worked just fine ONCE - I have the disc sitting on my shelf to prove it! Here is the mediainfo output for the current disc I am trying to write to: INQUIRY: [LITE-ON ][DVDRW SOHW-1693S][KS09] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 1Bh, DVD+R Media ID: RITEK/R03 Current Write Speed: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #0: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #1: 6.0x1385=8310KB/s Write Speed #2: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s GET [CURRENT] PERFORMANCE: Write Performance: 3.2x1385=4432KB/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> 0] Speed Descriptor#0: 00/0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#2: 00/0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: A1h, DVD+R book [revision 1] Legacy lead-out at: 2295104*2KB=4700372992 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: blank Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 2295104*2KB Track Size: 2295104*2KB ROM Compatibility LBA: 262144 READ CAPACITY: 1*2048=2048 Here is the mediainfo output for the disc that burnt correctly: # dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0 INQUIRY: [LITE-ON ][DVDRW SOHW-1693S][KS09] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 1Bh, DVD+R Media ID: RITEK/R03 Current Write Speed: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #0: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #1: 6.0x1385=8310KB/s Write Speed #2: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s GET [CURRENT] PERFORMANCE: Write Performance: 3.2x1385=4432KB/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> 6.4x1385=8880KB/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Speed Descriptor#0: 00/1537423 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 00/1537423 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#2: 00/1537423 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: A1h, DVD+R book [revision 1] Legacy lead-out at: 2295104*2KB=4700372992 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: appendable Number of Sessions: 2 State of Last Session: empty "Next" Track: 2 Number of Tracks: 2 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: invisible Track Start Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 0*2KB Track Size: 1537424*2KB ROM Compatibility LBA: 262144 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#2]: Track State: blank Track Start Address: 1539472*2KB Next Writable Address: 1539472*2KB Free Blocks: 755632*2KB Track Size: 755632*2KB ROM Compatibility LBA: 262144 FABRICATED TOC: Track#1 : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Track#AA : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Multi-session Info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] READ CAPACITY: 1537424*2048=3148644352 The wierd numbers on the empty disc is not an issue.
