Hi,

> Burned or not burned?  dvd+rw-mediainfo can't decide

It is rather the drive which cannot decide.
dvd+rw-mediainfo quite directly forwards replies
of the drive to certain MMC inquiry commands.

Your observations indicate that the drive is
not able to recognize the media's formatting
and data content although it did not report
an error during the write run.
The media info after writing is explainable
if the drive cached the formatting info in its
internal memory until the media got ejected.

It may be that the media shows up as formatted
and readable in a different drive.
For the drive in question you should get media
from a different manufacturer.


Have a nice day :)
