Plextor PX-750A/DVD+R/DVD+RW/growisofs



Hello,

I've ran into problems burning DVD with growisofs.
As a summary :
* growisofs DVD+R : works but at 0.5X (instead of 16X)
* growisofs DVD+RW : fail with message 
---
:-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/ASC=30h/ACQ=05h]: Wrong medium type
:-( media is not formatted or unsupported.
:-( write failed: Wrong medium type

I had a try with cdrecord with a generated iso image and DVD+RW. It worked but 
with 1X speed (instead of 4X)
cdrecord also reported some strange problem :
---
Disk type:    unknown dye (reserved id code)
Manuf. index: -1
Manufacturer: unknown (not in table)
cdrecord: WARNING: Could not manage to find medium size, and more than 90 mins 
of data.
cdrecord: WARNING: Drive returns wrong startsec (0) using -150
---

Anyway I want to make my dvd writer works ok with growisofs...

I'm running 
- Mandriva 2006, kernel 2.6.12 smp mode/i686.
- growisofs version 5.21

I've started reporting those information on mandriva's bug report without any 
success yet : http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21013
You will find there several attachements.

I know I'm not giving too much details but the problem is I don't really know 
where to search.

Kind regards and thanks for your help

David
