Well, we can only wish that all vendors return same error codes in same
situations. It's jungle out there, trust me.

And I don't think it's an application or kernel problem:-)

See http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/keys.txt for transcript.
5/21/02 stands "INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE," which essentially makes no
sense for blank media [unless unit failed to figure out what to do with
it].

The command reads as "load the disk, start the disc and make ready for
access." Timeout means that the unit failed to figure out what to do
with media within reasonable time... Does it mean that media is
supported?

Media is most likely *totally* busted and you can't reuse it. Track size
of 1 makes no sense. DVD ECC block size is 32KB and Track size should
always be N*16*2KB. It might make sense to block signals in the
beginning of recording in next update...

Next update will show media manufacturer id even for DVD+media. A.
