I have the impression that dvd+rw-tools is no longer being maintained upstream.

It's possible the disk is *partly* unreadable, which is not much better than having a coaster when you're dealing with important data. > How did you "force" growisofs to burn only at 3.9x?

Actually, burning higher than 2.4x produces disks that are likely to be partly or totally unreadable in my non-burner unit. So if I'm planning to lend or hand it out, I always burn with speed=1 and verify (dd, readcd or dvdisaster) the disk on my other DVD/CDRW combo unit. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
