dvd+rw-booktype does not work with Lite-On DVD+RW LDW-401S
Hi all,
I have been tinkering with the bitsetting function of my DVD writer:
Lite-On LDW-401S,
but I can' make it work under Linux. Here's the information of my writer:
# dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd2

Upgrading to firmware ES0M (which adds the bitsetting feature),
I have successfully changed the booktype status of my writer
in Windows, and have burned a DVD+R disc with DVD-Rom booktype too.
However, when I tried to change the booktype of a DVD+R disc
under Linux, error messages were returned as these:
# dvd+rw-booktype -dvd-rom -unit+r /dev/dvd2
> :-[ RICOH(14h) failed with SK=5h/ASC=30h/ACQ=06h]: Wrong medium type
# dvd+rw-booktype -inq /dev/dvd2
> Unable to determine unit settings. Default settings vary from
> firmware to firmware. Set explicitly to be certain.
So, is there any hacking I can do to make 'dvd+rw-booktype' utility
to support my Lite-On LDW-401S writer? I am willing to do
some tests and feedback if it can help.
Any help and suggestion is really appreciated
