I'm using growisofs from dvd+rw-tools 5.21.4.10.8-1 from Debian Sarge on an IBM Thinkpad X40 with a DVD writer that reports itself as: "MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-812."
Sometimes I will try 10 or 15 times in a row to burn a DVD and it fails each time with something like: :-[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with SK=4h/ASC=03h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error builtin_dd: 117104*2KB out @ average 1.0x1385KBps :-( write failed: Input/output error /dev/dvd: flushing cache /dev/dvd: updating RMA /dev/dvd: closing disc :-[ CLOSE DISC failed with SK=5h/ASC=72h/ACQ=04h]: Input/output error /dev/dvd: reloading tray In this example, I had forced the write speed to 1 (it defaults to 2) to see if it makes any difference--it didn't. I would suspect bad media, except that it seems to consistently fail in exactly the same place for a given DVD image to burn. For example, this one keeps failing at 6.13% done. Another failed repeatedly at 47.47%. Any ideas what's going on? Troubleshooting tips? I hate to throw away so many DVDs. -- Adam Rosi-Kessel http://adam.rosi-kessel.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
