cdrecord decided to try a write at sector 0.
That try failed. So its assumption of blank
media might be wrong.


I already wondered about these messages:

> Track 01: data 3834 MB
> Total size: 3834 MB = 1963359 sectors

It looks as if the intended size of the track
is already known to the media. A plausible
explanation would be that a previous burn run
of the same image converted the media into a
closed DVD-R with the same size as the image.

chi kwan: could you please run
   dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/...
on the media which refused to get burned, so we
get more clarity about its state ?


Have a nice day :)
