The information you provided prove that cdrecord was able to close the disk.

If you did send the output from cdrecord -minfo from the disk past
the -fix run, this could be verified......

I said to you that cdrecord didn't change anything because
dvd+rw-mediainfo still showed the same info :


I don't care about the putput from dvd+rw-mediainfo
But the rest of the list is not pretending all software not written by you is useless, so it provides useful information at times. 
And after the try of cdrecord -fix I did a full md5sum of all
files and compared to the local files on my HD : the same, I
can mount and read the file without any problem (well only under
linux...).


Pleae do not continue to repeat that this is a linux vs. no-linus problem
The lack of close is everywhere, but it only is visible on some operating systems. 
Maybe the cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -minfo would give you reason in a
way ?


Are you unwilling to read the documentation?

Why do you use an unsupported dev= parameter?
Because the world has largely given up using obscure numbers instead of meaningful names. People use node names instead of IP numbers or MAC addresses. Your pseudo-SCSI scheme is even less meaningful since the original SCSI-I hardware used four, not three, numbers (slot, bus, device, LUN). And your "unintentional and not supported" error message is B.S. and you know it, you added code to make it work, and that's hardly unintentional. And since modern pluggable devices are now common and order of plug defines the numbers, only names make any sense to use in scripts.

wunderful!
The disk is OK now and should be readable on every non-defective drive that supports to read DVD+R media. 


Thank for taking time to see the problem, but for the record
it should be mentioned that I never got any error with wodim
and all files seem good under linux.


A buggy program like wodim that does not print error messages
when it creates defective media is a real problem. Why didn't you listen
to the warnings I publish since more than a year? Wodim is software published by people that don't care about their users. The only intention these people 
had was to harm the free software project cdrtools.
And removes all the B.S. warnings and limitations you put in your code purely to make people think Linux had a problem. People choose to use lesser software because it's easier than dealing with you. You could be widely respected in free software, and instead people only use your software when they can't find anything else.
Now your problem that was caused by defective "DVD support" in wodim has been fixed by cdrecord! 

The previously unreadable track #1 is now correctly closed.

What is your problem?


Note that you did not yet report any real problem. My answers are all
bases on the known bugs in wodim and on your claim that the medium
is not readable.
