I know these only from hearsay. My DVD+RW are all 4x. Oldest from 2006. Some of them are still in regular use here. > dd if=/dev/zero bs=2048 count=2295104 | \ > xorriso -as cdrecord -v -nopad dev=/dev/sr1 -eject - > ... > Writing to '/dev/sr1' completed successfully. > ... > Media status : is written , is closed Not what should be told after a successful run. :( > So I'll do an up arrow and do it again but first reinsert disk then: > gene@coyote:~/AppImages$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 > ... > libburn : SORRY : Asynchronous SCSI error on waiting after START > UNIT (+ LOAD): [2 30 00] Drive not ready. Incompatible medium installed. This error code [2 30 00] comes from the drive, which seems to be really angry at the medium. (The first component "2" tells the error class "Drive not ready". The other two hex numbers are called ASC and ASCQ and tell error reasons. A large collection of these SCSI ASC/ASCQ error codes for disks, tapes, burners, etc. can be found at https://www.t10.org/lists/asc-num.htm In our case the second component "30" leads to https://www.t10.org/lists/asc-num.htm#ASC_30 where the third component "00" is the vanilla version of reasons why a medium may be considered unusable: 30h/00h ............. INCOMPATIBLE MEDIUM INSTALLED ) > Looks like that disk is burnt toast. The culprit is often not easy to determine when the relationship between drive and medium is broken up. Check whether your drive still can handle the other DVD+RW media (Sony ?). If it appears to stay in bad mood, give it a power cycle (e.g. reboot of the computer where it is in). Have a nice day :) Thomas
