Hi all,

Off recently, I have been getting the following error when I'm trying to write a DVD (from image or directory) using growisofs. It always occurs at around this point, i.e. at around 93%-95%. This was the 4th coaster DVD I got.

What could be reason that this is happening? Any clues?

Thanks.

Hi ,

it's nice that you get a free box of DVDs, but looking at the output of
your session, could it be that the file you're trying to burn is too
large for a DVD? When I do a dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdd for a DVD, I get
something like
Track Size:            2148256*2KB

amongst other information, which seems awfully close to where your error
occurs.

Just a guess...

Hello,

The total amount of data to be written was 4 680 855 552 bytes. I tried writing it again, got a coaster :(, but was successful the third time.

And the error indicated 2175216*2KB out = 4 454 842 368 bytes = 4.82% less than the total (4 680 855 552 bytes). And just before the error it says 95.14% done, and we have 4.82% not written at the point of error. So this accounts for 99.96% data, the 0.04% would have been written between the last indication (of 95.14%) and when the error occured.

Below is the information about the media (coaster disc). The lead-out is at 4707319808 ( < 4 680 855 552).

Does anyone know what it means that the disc is appendable? Does that mean that the disc is not a coaster yet? Can it be still used?

Thanks,
