Looks like you need to learn about CD writing basics..... cdrecord knows how to write any possible sector type in -raw96r mode. BTW: writing in -raw96r is a trick to circumvent problems from the non-cooperative Linux hald (*) and -raw96 should be used with all Lite-ON drives to circumvent firmware bugs found in all Lite-ON drives. If you do not know how -raw96r works, then I would guess that your software does not support to write in this mode..... *) hald on Linux must be called harmfull software as it interrupts the write process and makes media unusable. This is because it starts reading from incompletely written CD.
