i've tried what you have suggested several times on different mediums and it didn't work :-(
seames like the wodim doesn't acknowledge the noburnfree command i give it ? i've set it in the /etc/wodim.conf and i also gave it on the command line and also from inside the k3b software. here are two results from two different mediums... laptop:~/ISO# /usr/bin/wodim -v gracetime=2 dev=/dev/hdc speed=24 -dao -force -eject driveropts=noburnfree -data -tsize=357323s ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '/dev/hdc' devname: '/dev/hdc' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Error trying to open /dev/hdc exclusively (Device or resource busy)... retrying in 1 second.
