Hi All,

We've got a RedHat Linux 8.0 computer with a Philips DVD+RW-D01 drive. This is the DVD+RW drive that Dell ships out with their workstations.

This drive reads and writes CD+R and DVD+RW just fine. However, I am having problems getting it to write to a DVD+R disk. I pop a fresh DVD+R disk into the drive, then type this: > growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J /var/spool/anacron Executing 'mkisofs -R -J /var/spool/anacron dd of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k se ek=0' :-[ SENSE KEY=5h/ASC=30h/ASCQ=10h ] writei All,

It also fails if I try to write a pre-made iso file to the drive. From what I've read, the 'dvd+rw-format' isn't necessary on a DVD+R disk, and in fact will make the DVD+R unreadable for any future 'growisofs' writes.

We are running: cdrtools-cdrecord-1.11a23-1 cdrtools-cdda2wav-1.11a23-1 cdrtools-mkisofs-1.11a23-1 xcdroast-0.98alpha10-1 dvd+rw-tools-4.1.3.0.3

Does anyone know how to write to a DVD+R disk in Linux?

Thanks,
Answer
