If you want meaningful answer, "provide versioning information, exact
command line, exact output generated by the program and complement it
with dvd+rw-mediainfo output for resulting recording." Quote is from
dvd+rw-tools web-page. To spare bandwidth you don't have to provide
*complete* output, but only relevant, at very least handful of line from
beginning and end. Also, when you say "no problem with all other types
of media," is it the same data set? What can you say about the data set?
Is it a lot of small files or few large ones? A.

For isofs 'dd if=/dev/dvd skip=32769 bs=1 count=5' and comparing its
output to CD001 would do the trick. Note that for virgin media dd would
return i/o error, but the outcome would be non-CD001 string and media
would be recognized as "empty" anyway. Naturally for other file systems
empty-check would be different and might have to be more elaborate.

BD-RE has no notion of blanking and once minimally formatted it appears
to user as fully formatted forever. You can wipe the data, you can
re-format, but you can't make it appear virgin. A.

This is a "bug" in libiconv from your OS, it is unrelated to mkisofs.

What OS are you using?

Please _READ_ my mail..

You may tell k3b to use cdrecord by default.
