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



I've tried with several brand. (JVC & TDK at least)
=> I cannot burn a DVD+RW with growisofs
=> I can burn a DVD+RW with cdrecord (even if speed is not "normal")

Everything's running perfect on Windows :-(
So this cannot be a hardware problem. (wrong IDE cabling)
Perhaps a DMA problem, I'll have a look at it.
I've upgraded the firware to latest revision already (1.02)

By the way I can burn CD-R/CD-RW at "normal" speed. (40X)

Output of dvd+rw-mediainfo : (did I say I'm a total newbie in DVD burning ? If
not, I'm a total newbie and didn't know about dvd+rw-mediainfo)
