[GROWISOFS] Can't do multisession
Hello,
I have an external USB DVD burner SONY DRX-720UL. And I want to use
growisofs :
-------------
~$ growisofs -version
* growisofs by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 5.21,
front-ending to mkisofs: mkisofs 2.01-unofficial-iconv (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
----------------
I first test growisofs onto a Sony DVD+RW 4.7Go 4x. So to do the first
burn I did :
-----
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0 -R -J .
-----
So I burned ~1.4Go of pictures (*.jpg, avi,mpeg) from my camera
Then to test the multisession I did :
------
growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -R -J -M /dev/sr0 -graft-point
/test/000/111/=/home/yves/wallpaper
------
And all worked good :)
Then, I want to burn it onto a DVD+R (TDK 4.7Go 8x). So I first do :
-----
$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0 -R -J .
-----
It is ok :)
But when I want to burn another things (with the -M option) I have this
error :
-------
growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -R -J -M /dev/sr0 -graft-point
/test/000/111/=/home/yves/wallpaper
:-( media is not appendable
--------------
Here is an exemple of how I add data onto the DVD+RW and the
dwd+rw-mediainfo :
---------------------------------------------

It seems strange for me that the field 'Number of session' have only '1'
as value since I burned 3 sessions on this DVD to test it !
Moreover, with the burn output '/dev/sr0: restarting DVD+RW format...',
I wonder if the DVD isn't formatted each time (althought it is quick....) ?
here is the mediainfo of my DVD+R after the first burn :

Another strange thing : I cant do 2 dvd+rw-mediainfo one after one. I
must switch off I dvd drive and switch on again to use this command with
another DVD !
So could someone tell me why I can't do multisession onto DVD+R but I
can onto DVD+RW ?
best regards,
