Teac DW-552G, problems with CD-RW recording
Hello,
I have a combo drive Teac DW-552G (revision N4K1). It is able of recording
CD-Rs at 52x, CD-RWs at 32x, and *reading-only* DVDs. There are problems
with CD-RW recording.
I tried it with Linux kernel 2.4.26 (slackware 9.1/10) and with
cdrecord-1.10, 2.00.3, 2.01a32 (this version both with and without
dvd-patch), dvdrtools-0.1.5/0.1.6. All system options were set
appropriately (at least this setup worked okay with previous drive, Teac
CDW-58). I used all available CD-RW media, that is 5" 0/4 speed, 5" 4/10
speed, 3" 4/10 speed.
To begin with, -prcap command doesn't report CD-RW capability and speed at
all. It may or may not be connected with warning about 'wrong size for CD
capabilities page' constantly given. Peeking into source code, this is
about drive decalring size of scsi page 0x2A as 76 bytes and then
returning 70 bytes only.
Then, with some versions of cd-/dvdrecord recording *can* actually
commence and complete. But the tracks written can't always be mounted *on*
*this* *same* drive. Sometimes, only first track is visible, sometimes
none at all. Other drive, trivial old CD-ROM, mounts all of these tracks.
The drive in question also mounts all recordings from other recorders, and
also mounts everything recorded on it with Nero 6.3.*.
Is there anything I could try?
regards,
Yury.
