firmware or media problem or what???
Hi folks
I just got my first dvd writer and is struggling to get it working on my
linux box. (My son tells me I should opt for plan b, and put it in his XP
box.)
I have successfully made a CDR, which should mean I'm pretty close.
Now I have ruined a couple of DVD+R and seek your advice before I ruin
myself.
The box is a vanilla rh9 with all apt updates from freshrpms.
dvd+rw-tools is installed as an rpm created directly from the tarball.
I run dvd+rw-mediainfo and it says it fails, but I don't understand if
that is important.
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong and should RTFM, but It would be nice to
_know_ if that is the case.
The media is from a 25-pack marked PHILIPS DVD+R 1-4x.
Great if someone could tell what these codes mean.
Printout with a fresh disk follows...
/Bengt
[root@server root]# rpm -q dvd+rw-tools
dvd+rw-tools-5.16.4.8.5-1
[root@server root]# dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/cdrom
