If you use cdrecord ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ you will read in the documentation that this is impossible with DVD+RW media unless you own a very old Ricoh DVD writer. Even then, you need cdrecord to blank the media. ==> Thank you for clarifying that. I had visited that ftp site but of course did not come across that documentation. So from your answer I can take it that there is no way to restore the DVD+RW media to its blank state, as there is with DVD-RW, nicht wahr? -- Roy btw: I was a graduate student at TU Berlin in 1965, in physics. Promptly "beurlaubt" due to my failure to understand the German language at a level that would have enabled me to understand what the heck was happening in my courses. Went to the Goethe Institut in Brannenberg-Degendorf to partially correct that deficiency. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
