hi
I have bought a DVD ; for the record, it was made by Verbatim and was labeled as
"DVD-RW For use in 4x or 6x DVD-RW recorders -
- SERL technology allows continual rewrites ..jabba jabba.."
I wrote a ISOFS image once on it, and it was OK.
Now I would like to rewrite it (writing a premastered ISO on that), but with no success at all.
# growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -Z /dev/dvd=myiso.iso
WARNING: /dev/dvd already carries isofs!
About to execute 'builtin_dd if=myiso.iso of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'
/dev/dvd: engaging DVD-RW DAO upon user request...
:-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error
I tried to format it, in two ways:
# dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd
* BD/DVD?RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 7.0.
:-( failed to locate "Quick Format" descriptor.
:-( can't locate appropriate format descriptor
# dvd+rw-format -blank=full /dev/dvd
* BD/DVD?RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 7.0.
:-( failed to locate "Quick Format" descriptor.
:-( can't locate appropriate format descriptor
* 3.5GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
* blanking .:-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=3h/ASC=73h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error
Prior to that, I tried using k3b. It reports this info on my drive
