I have a NEC ND-1300A DVD Recorder. With +R/+RW Media, it works fine,
but with DVD-R(W), I get these messages all over again:

growisofs does not react to SIGTERM, I have to SIGKILL it.

My Device: "DVD_RW ND-1300A ", Firmware revision 1.08.

This sound too very much as if user was running growisofs 5.16. I mean
"command sequence error" in the very beginnig of -dvd-compat DVD-R
recording is pretty much the definition of 5.14 through 5.16. Martin!
Can you really confirm that 'growisofs -version' returns 5.17? Is it
possible that old version was present on your $PATH by the time you
experienced the problem? E.g. I can see you were standing in ~/bin and
if you have/had old version there and . in your $PATH, then you might as
well have picked old version. What would 'which growisofs' print by the
time you experienced the problem?

Signals get blocked in the very beginning of recording. It was necessary
to do that to overcome firmware problems in some units. So that it a
way, yes, you have to kill -KILL it is it hangs early enough.

If problem persists with 5.17 (really with 5.17, run explicitly
/usr/bin/growisofs if you have to:-), submit 'dvd+rw-mediainfo
/dev/cdrecorder verbose' output right after growisofs suffers from this
error. A.

Hi,

having the same problem as bug #231693. I can swear it's not an <=5.16
version, this is 5.21 (kernel 2.4.26):

Is it minimally blanked media? See
http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2004/08/msg00237.html. Seems like
Toshiba units fail to "tell" that DAO is the only available option.
There is remote possibility that media reload might help in this
situation. I.e. if one finds -use-the-force-luke=dao longer to type than
reload tray. A.

I have always used blank=fast since that was enough for later burning

well, after spending a hour by blank=all the growisofs really burns data
without complaints.

couldn't the growisofs be smart enough to fall back to dao instead of
annoying "crying for dao" (=printing those errors). Or how about using
dao by default?

Petr

P> well, after spending a hour by blank=all the growisofs really burns data

It's not about growisofs, but about Toshiba firmware. growisofs is
capable of detecting when DAO is the only option and it's known to work
with a number of units. Toshiba firmware apparently leads it to wrong
conclusions and you have to help it by complementing growisofs command
line with -use-the-force-luke=dao.

Or how about formatting the media for Restricted Overwrite *once* and
forgetting all this blanking and DAO issues? It's way more practical. A.

Hi!

Today, I tried burning a DVD-R, and it works (growisofs 5.21). So at some
time between 5.16 and 5.21, the bugs seems to be fixed. As soon as I get to
it, I'll try a DVD-RW too.

Ciao
