DVD+R burning problem (other media okay)
Hello, all.
I've got a problem burning DVD+R media in my drive. First a
little system information:
1.7G Celeron (P4)
Sis 645/961 based motherboard
768M memory
Sony DRU-710A drive with newest firmware "BYX2"
kernel/system is 2.6.9-1.6_FC2.i686 on FC2 up2date system
burner is on a motherboard IDE connector as the slave
to another drive.
Source drive is on a promise 20267 based controller PCI card
and can source the burn rate worth of data easily.
All drives are using DMA.
I've tried using both
cdrecord-2.01.1-0.FC2.1
dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-1.FC2.1
for burning and growisofs comes the closest to working.
I've tired DVD-R, DVD+R, and DVD+RW media and only DVD+R
has refused to produce good burns. It very well may be a
media issue as I'm very new to DVD burning and I just picked
up whatever was cheapest.
Here is what dvd+rw-mediainfo says about the three kinds of
media:

I did a growisofs -Z /dev/hdd -r -R .
The burn seemed to go nicely at just under 6x on the DVD+R
media (marked at 4x on the label). But the files on the
media once it's mounted contain a number of errors. But,
they form a pattern--or so it seems.
If I "dd if=/dev/hdd of=/dev/null bs=2k conv=noerror", I get
dd: reading `/dev/hdd': Input/output error
184180+0 records in
184180+0 records out
twice and then a string of:
dd: reading `/dev/hdd': Input/output error
420786+0 records in
420786+0 records out
Are there any further bits of information I could provide or
tests I should run to gather information?
Thank you.
Cheers,
David
