Re: Errormessage(s) index?



Hi,

Those numbers are the SCSI error codes as returned by
the drives. They are listed e.g. in MMC-5, Annex F.
dvd+rw-tools provides a list at
  http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/keys.txt

Your error code is
  3  73  03       POWER CALIBRATION AREA ERROR
which means that drive and media do not like each other.

If this is often re-used media then it is worn out.
If it is a new disc, then drive and media are not
compatible enough. (Not unusual, regrettably.)

This is hardly a matter of the program you use for
writing. Try a different drive or a new media or
media from a different manufacturer.


Have a nice day :)
