Hi all,

Sorry for the load of posts this week, but I've got a new toybox and
they aren't working well...

I'm trying to use dvd+rw-tools port to burn DVD's. My first problem was
that after burning a DVD, I was unable to eject it. I had to reboot the
machine and only then could I get the disc out. Otherwise, it appears to
have burned ok.

Now I'm trying to erase the disc so I can try burning a larger volume.
I've tried using dvd+rw-format, as follows:

dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0
I then got
* DVD�RW format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.5.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
- media is not blank
- you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:
  -force[=full] to enforce new format or mode transition
   and wipe the data;
  -blank[=full] to change to Sequential mode.

I've since tried dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/cd0 and 
dvd+rw-format -blank=full and both returned the error:

* DVD�RW format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.5.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
- [unable to umount]: Bad file descriptor

Has anyone successfully written or erased DVD-RW media on FreeBSD 5.1
using this tool from ports ? 

Thanks in advance.
