Problems with Matshita UJ-810

[Richard Jelinek <rj@petamem.com>]

Hi,

I have a IBM MultiBurner 22P7015 in my Thinkpad A31p
Notebook. Actually it is a Matshita UJ-810 OEM Drive painted
black. The Firmware is C104 - probably quite recent.

I'm experiencing (increasing?) major problems while trying to write
DVD-R or DVD-RW. And - for some reason - am beginning to suspect the
fault being in the DVD+RW Tools.

1) After buying 25 Verbatim DVD-R, I was able to burn 17 of them w/o
   problems, but 8 failed with "OPC failed with
   SK=3h/ASC=73h/ASCQ=03h", I brought them back to the dealer and they
   were able to burn them w/o problems on some other writer under
   Windows.

2) I bought Memorex DVD-RW and while trying to burn an isoimage I even
   get a return code I cannot identify under
   http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/keys.txt

sol:/data/BURN-ISO # growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=img.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=img.iso of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0'
:-[ PERFORM OPC failed with SK=4h/ASC=03h/ASCQ=00h

sol:/data/BURN-ISO # growisofs -version
* growisofs by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 5.11,
  front-ending to mkisofs: mkisofs 2.0 (i686-suse-linux)
