Hi, > I guess you're more > interested in the failures than in the successes. Heh.
Current stage of the procedure is to collect info. Success is as welcome as failure. If you can fulfill all your needs by xorriso runs, then i will be glad. Nevertheless i would not believe that xorriso is good and the others are bad. Rather, if you would still be interested in improving GNU/Linux, i would then try to find out whether the others got misoperated. They might as well be unlucky to hit a drive problem by the particular options used. Maybe we even find a bug that can be fixed. It's not impossible. See https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/08/msg00138.html https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794868 > I'll do that if I can get some DVD+RW discs on hand. > I really need this to succeed more than I need useful test results. Tell me what you want to achieve and i will make proposals how it can be attempted while gathering info. You may mail to me in private, if you want. Currently i know that you try to put readily prepared images on DVD. Throw in any DVD that's at hand and try. If it succeeds: fine. Report media type and image size. If it fails, your best option is to show me the messages. Then i can tell more and maybe propose what to buy next. If money can solve the problem, that is. I'd get one or two USB sticks, too. Put a fileystem on them and store copies of the images there. Later, when the burn problems are solved, you will find other use for them. > So I thought I had more or less ruled out hardware as > the problem. The more reason that we finally find the reason for the curse that hit you. I can confirm that burning is possible, altough it does impose more adventure than e.g. writing to hard disk. On the other hand hardly anybody zapped the system disk while trying to burn a DVD. With setting up an USB stick this can happen quite easily. Be cautious when formatting the filesystem. Have a nice day :) Thomas
