"Wrong medium type" from growisofs...
Hi.
All of a sudden I'm having problems burning DVDs. growisofs reports the error "Wrong medium type" (see below for details). The weird thing is that I'm using the same media as always (Verbatim DVD+R), in fact I am half-way through the pack and the first couple of DVDs were burned without problems, but the last four I've tried did not work.
I'm running Debian/unstable with linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 kernel. The drive is a Ricoh RW5240.
The dvd+rw-tools package version is 7.0-1. I have also tried downgrading do 6.1-3, but that did not help.
I have attached the output from dvd+rw-mediainfo for the failing DVD and the last DVD I successfully burned about two weeks ago. I would be grateful if someone could look at it to see if something relevant has changed.
I would think that it is unlikely though, and therefore also be grateful for any other pointers on what could be the problem here.
thanks,
Christian Henz
