freebsd stable - Jan 2004 - NEC 1300A DVD-R writing

Melvyn,

I'm currently having similars problems like the one you had in your message
in list.freebsd.org on the 5th Jul 2003.

I'm having kind of similar problems as described above. I bought a NEC
DVD_RW ND-1300A with some DVD+R RW a box of 50 Nashua DVD-R 4.7GB

Burning DVD+R RW I did not encounter any problem. 

When I tried to burn a Nashua DVD-R with several software like Nero, DVD
Decrypter I have the following error:

Cannot write medium - incompatible format

When Cancel I got:

Failed to reserve track

Do you have any idea why is this occurring? 

I thought DVD_RW ND-1300A was compatible for both DVD+R and -R

Thanks in advance 

Regards,

Rodrigo

What you are experiencing can be cleared up with a firmware update.

What you may not like is the need to be in a (gasp!) windows environment
to do so.

I had to do this for my own NEC 1300A to be able to burn the newer 4x
DVD-Rs I sent out for Christmas.  Everything worked flawlessly after that.

The file I found on the internet was 1198_Firmware_ND-1300A_WIN108.zip

If you can't find it out there, drop me an email and I'll send it to you
via email (it's all of 522K).

	Saw your answer to the NEC1300A problem of -R disks.  I have the same problem. 
Could you send me that file fix as well.   Also saw the disk quality answer.
