Thomas, thank you for suggesting dvd+rw-tools-7.1 Will dvd+rw-mediainfo work on solaris 10 (sparc) ? I am definitely interested in the capabilities of growisofs. Hope to try it soon - if not solaris, then on linux.
> Do you get a different -minfo output from a BD-R > which never was involved in a failed write attempt ? NO, the results were the same. I do not believe cdrecord even tried to write anything. > Did you try BD-RE yet ? I do not have BD-RE, and do not planned to use it. My application is for long term archives to blu-ray discs, and for now I am focusing on sparc solaris 10 machines. I did try NeroLinux 4 on a CentOS 5.3 (x86) machine. After trouble getting the device set up properly (/dev/scd0) nero was able to recognize the drive and read disc info. However, when I tried to burn, it failed with errors. Perhaps maybe helpful, the log file is attached.
