Hi,
If you did not see my last message it basically said that no growisofs
command would finalize the dvd disk. Of course I was at a total lost.
After reading some of the old messages in the newsgroup, I tried
cdrecord_dvdpro.
cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -fix
That worked to finalize the disk initially written by growisofs, and
DVD disk now works in the sony DVD player now!!!
I guess there is an incompatibility with "growisofs" and the sony
dru-500a drive that does not allow disk finalization. Below is
the new media info output. This shows the last session complete. The
previous output the last session was incomplete before "-fixing" the
drive with cdrecord-dvdpro.
Another point of interest. When using growisofs, or loading the
non-finalized disk it sounded like the dvd drive was knocking. I
thought the drive was broken when I heard this sound. I found out sony
makes a windows utility to test this drive. Will pull it out again and
try it out in windows. Wish these utilities were written for dos,
Linux, or something easy to install. Maybe one day.
I used the tip in the dvd+rw tutorial about unloading and reloading
sr_mod in order to detect the unfinalized disk. Found out that if I
did not do this I would get the media not found error with
dvd+rw-mediainfo.
$ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd
