Hi! I'm a complete DVD newbie, as I only burned 2 DVDs in my life, and I'm getting this error on the second one I tried (I have ample experience burning and mastering CDs, though)
I'm trying to burn a 4.2G directory to a DVD. This is on a dual boot FreeBSD/WinXP machine. The first DVD was burned on WinXP using Nero (data files, pretty standard ISO9660 except for the size) so, in the absence of more tough testing I can just say that the drive seems to be working. The second DVD failed. And this is the (summarizd) output: omega# growisofs -Z /dev/cd1 -dvd-video DVD_VIDEO/ Executing 'mkisofs -dvd-video DVD_VIDEO/ | builtin_dd of=/dev/pass2 obs=32k seek =0' /dev/pass2: "Current Write Speed" is 4.1x1385KBps. 0.23% done, estimate finish Thu Feb 2 17:43:40 2006 0.45% done, estimate finish Thu Feb 2 16:37:16 2006 ... ... 53.91% done, estimate finish Thu Feb 2 14:48:33 2006 54.13% done, estimate finish Thu Feb 2 14:48:51 2006 54.36% done, estimate finish Thu Feb 2 14:48:38 2006 :-[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed with SK=3h/ASC=0Ch/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error builtin_dd: 1204880*2KB out @ average 0.4x1385KBps :-( write failed: Input/output error /dev/pass2: flushing cache /dev/pass2: closing track :-[ CLOSE TRACK failed with SK=5h/ASC=30h/ACQ=05h]: Invalid argument /dev/pass2: closing disc :-[ CLOSE SESSION failed with SK=5h/ASC=30h/ACQ=05h]: Invalid argument Now, since I'm a newbie I just want to have an idea of the possible causes and or solutions: is this caused by bad media? the speed was chosen by growisofs automatically (~4x), is this OK or should I use a lower speed? Is there any way I can retry the process (point growisofs to the same path and using the same incomplete media)? I don't think it could be that the data doesn't fit the disk, as it's failing at ~ 50% of completion ... Boring details follow below.
