>From http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/drafts/mmc5/mmc5r03c.pdf : 5 21 02 INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE [EMAIL PROTECTED] is decimal block address 2295104 (if i did the computing right this time). This is exactly the capacity obtained by command dvd+rw-mediainfo . > READ CAPACITY: 2295104*2048=4700372992 So writing just reached the end of the media and failed rightously. > :-[ CLOSE SESSION failed with SK=2h/ASC=04h/ACQ=07h] With DVD+RW media this sudden end is not supposed to do harm. The media should be readable and writeable afterwards. (With other media types there could be essential finalization activities missing.) To avoid that message i would restrict input to the maximum permissible capacity. On a Linux system that would be this command pipe: dd if=/dev/zero bs=2048 count=2295104 | \ growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/fd/0 where "/dev/sr0" is the drive address and "/dev/fd/0" is the pseudo-device which delivers standard input. You will have to find out its equivalent on your operating system. (Maybe growisofs recognizes that address and uses stdin instead. There is a line in growisofs.c which invites for a try even on systems which don't have a device file /dev/fd/0 : if (sscanf(in_image,"/dev/fd/%u",&imgfd) == 1) ) BTW: You are aware that "blanking" DVD+RW is not needed for rewriting this type of media ? It is only a privacy measure to make old content hard to read. (Beware: it's not totally unreadable afterwards. At least not for forensic experts.) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
