When running dvd+rw-format /dev/hdc, I'm getting the error: * DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 4.10. :-( mounted media doesn't appear to be DVD±RW or DVD-RAM
...however, from dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdc I get: INQUIRY: [MATSHITA][DVD-R UJ-835E ][GAN7] GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION: Mounted Media: 11h, DVD-R Sequential Media ID: TTG02 Current Write Speed: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #0: 8.0x1385=11080KB/s Write Speed #1: 4.0x1385=5540KB/s Write Speed #2: 2.0x1385=2770KB/s Write Speed #3: 1.0x1385=1385KB/s Speed Descriptor#0: 01/2297888 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#1: 01/2297888 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#2: 01/2297888 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s Speed Descriptor#3: 01/2297888 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s [EMAIL PROTECTED]/s READ DVD STRUCTURE[#10h]: Media Book Type: 25h, DVD-R book [revision 5] Legacy lead-out at: 2298496*2KB=4707319808 READ DVD STRUCTURE[#0h]: Media Book Type: 25h, DVD-R book [revision 5] Last border-out at: 0*2KB=0 READ DISC INFORMATION: Disc status: blank Number of Sessions: 1 State of Last Session: empty Number of Tracks: 1 READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: Track State: blank Track Start Address: 0*2KB Next Writable Address: 0*2KB Free Blocks: 2298496*2KB Track Size: 2298496*2KB READ CAPACITY: 1*2048=2048 It looks like the media is being picked up as a black DVD-R, rather than a RW - this may be my misunderstanding though. Any ideas to write a DVD? Cheers, Ben -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - www.seigan.org PGP Key fingerprint = 4309 1C58 5143 AFAC F69E 11CD 76FD 56D4 1223 E387
