You used growisofs, i assume. Afaik it does not close DVD+R even if option -dvd-compat or -dvd-video is given. Seems Andy Polyakov had some bad feedback about closed DVD+R. I don't know which, yet. There is code to fill up a DVD+R with zeros instead. >From growisofs.c: * - 'growisofs -M /dev/cdrom=/dev/zero', this is basically a counter- * intuitive kludge assigned to fill up multi-session write-once * media for better compatibility with DVD-ROM/-Video units, to keep * it mountable [in the burner unit] volume descriptors from previous * session are copied to the new session; I understand this can be done with your already burned not-so-well working DVD+R media. If you got some blank media left it may be worth a try to use cdrskin without option -multi. This will close the media after burning. > Since you mention VCD, what is the correct burning magic for cdrskin? Currently none, i fear. This exotic CD stuff is described in proprietary books owned by Philips. MMC standard tells something about how to control it, but not for what purpose which control has to be applied. The rumors found in the web contradict each other and also do not 100 % match what i read from MMC. (E.g mode names and their alleged sector sizes.) If somebody could prescribe me in the terms of MMC what to do with the one or more source files of a VCD then i would implement this in libburn. The other path to wisdom would be a VCD player which is capable of playing CD-RW, a few VCD media examples for getting an impression of the disc structure, and then to iterate over the finite list of possibilities offered by MMC. If it plays then it is right - for that particular player. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
