I don't know if this question is applicable to this list, but I'll try anyway. Anyone got a hint on other free tools to try for DVD+-R burning with my MSI DR8-A2? Maybe the last resort is to try the latest firmware, 160D. Current version is 150D, see below.
BTW: In growisofs I cannot use the speed switch: growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/dvd=file.img Executing 'builtin_dd if=file.img of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0' :-( Failed to change write speed: 0->5540 -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Svante Signell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: cdwrite@other.debian.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Is my MSI DR8-A2 broken?
