Hi, so I just bought a NEC 1300A, primarily, because it allows me to write DVD+ and -RW. Using DVD-R discs (and currently no options to try other media, due to shops being closed), I'm unable to write anything, using either the dvd+rwtools port, or the dvdrtools.

Hi there. I am unsuccessfully trying to write a data DVD on FreeBSD 4.8. The writer is a Sony DVD RW DRU-500A on IDE. I'm using the atapicam driver. The media is a Sony DVD+RW which arrived with the writer. Both with cdrecord ProDVD (from the ports or otherwise) and dvdrtools I get a general SCSI retryable error message, when trying to write a data track or blank a DVD. I have no problems writing CD-R's or CD-RW media. Any idea what the problem might be? How to work around it? Following is the output of cdrecord-ProDVD. Thanks, any help appreciated, -- Tom...

I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m
