I understood your report of yesterday that there
is a visible difference on the surface of the
recorded media caused by the scratch.
(Like a ring of different reflectivity or so.)

This would have indicated that not the same
kind of writing happened to the affected area.
And that would have implied foresight.

It is not impossible that the media knows
about the scratch if it was encountered already
during formatting.

So how did you learn about the triggering
of the defect handler ?
Except by this from your dvd+rw-mediainfo run:

I assume it was 50 % before. About 9 to 10 MB
would be consumed then.


Have a nice day :)
