Hi, Giulio Orsero: > I formatted the media using dvd+rw-format with default/standard > options (ie: didn't use any command line option)
Did you have technical indications that freshly purchased media need to be formatted prior to first usage ? I.e. did you ever test to write them out of the box ? Did that fail ? (DVD-RAM are sold formatted. They work immediately.) > READ FORMAT CAPACITIES: > formatted: 11826176*2048=24220008448 > 00h(3000): 11826176*2048=24220008448 > 30h(3000): 11826176*2048=24220008448 > 30h(5000): 11564032*2048=23683137536 > 30h(1000): 12088320*2048=24756879360 > 31h(800): 12219392*2048=25025314816 This gives room for both my ideas. > it [cdrskin] now works ok Great. This gives the foundation for more experiments. > Speed is the same as with cdrecord and growisofs, 1x instead of 2x, I > think this is due to verification/defect detection. 4314915 bytes per second. With 24220008448 bytes this would make more than one and a half hour. :( I'll begin with an experiment on WRITE12 and streaming bit. Later we can explore formatting stunts. I'll test with my DVD-RAM first and will inform you when a development tarball is uploaded. To Andy and Joerg: Do you have any other ideas how to circumvent the hardware error detection with DVD-RAM and BD-RE ? Or do you have any other theory what makes both types so slow ?
