growisofs still does not write completely readable error messages :-(
I recommend you to use cdrecord instead of growisofs.
Cdrecord will tell the drive to do laser power calibration and
it will print you a completely human readable error message in case it still fails.
If cdrecord fails with the same problem, then your drive does not like the
medium.
