Thanks for replying.(^_^) I think [1] is a hint, I bet you used a vendor hack of growisofs instead of downloading and building the real program from source. That doesn't mean I promise it will work for you, just that you know what you have. Oh, and it works for me, one session, multi-session, DVD-R, DVD+R, etc, etc. I would say the same thing about cdrecord, while wodim has fixed many annoying things about cdrecord[1], various vendor versions seem to provide enough "learning experiences" to justify using real cdrecord, or at least not calling wodim cdrecord, because it isn't... quite. Still, it is the only tool for burning fancy CDs, unless the very latest cdrskin has added more capabilities. [1] the following things make cdrecord unpleasant to use: - must run as root. - whines about using real device names instead of meaningless numbers. support is not "unintentional," code was added to make it work - whines about losing data if not run as root a simple "didn't set rt" message would tell the user, data loss doesn't happen with burnfree in any case, and cdrecord complains even to do information like prcap, msinfo or atip, indicating it is setting rt when not needed. - program advises to drop back to the last millennium and run 2.4 Linux kernels -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@tmr.com> "Woe unto the statesman who makes war without a reason that will still be valid when the war is over..."
