Hello, Please see the issue I posted here with my new Pioneer BDR-205 fw 1.03: http://club.myce.com/f143/cant-close-session-bdr-205-external-macally-cm-s525u-308505/
I then found the following posts on this ML explaining quite similar problems: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13071.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg13093.html I followed the advice in the last post to try cdrskin instead, and this is what happened (0.7.6.pl00-2): $ mkisofs -rJ . | cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr1 blank=format_if_needed [tried with speed=4 also] - cdrskin 0.7.6 : limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn cdrskin: verbosity level : 1 cdrskin: NOTE : greying out all drives besides given dev='/dev/sr1' cdrskin: scanning for devices ...

Then I tried the same command again: [...] cdrskin: ... scanning for devices done cdrskin: status 3 BURN_DISC_APPENDABLE "There is an incomplete disc in the drive" Current: BD-R sequential recording cdrskin: beginning to burn disc cdrskin: status 3 BURN_DISC_APPENDABLE "There is an incomplete disc in the drive" Current: BD-R sequential recording Track 01: data unknown length Total size: 0 MB (00:00.00) = 0 sectors Lout start: 0 MB (00:02/00) = 0 sectors Starting to write CD/DVD at speed MAX in real TAO mode for single session.
