Re: [Dvdrtools-users] unable to write dvd-r with linux kernel 1.6

I've asked several times now and you keep on ranting but not answering.
I and someone else have also asked you to define your TLAs, which you
keep on failing to do as well. Can one take you serious?

Now stop this waffling and tell *WHY* the recording program, cdrecord or
growisofs, even cares about all these mince pies. Note I'm not
interested in the differences in mince pies, you've said that a few
times before. *How* does it affect *the recording program*, please?

I haven't had time to look at the source code for growisofs in the last
few hours, but it's not very big and I expect to find that it
essentially sends a "burn this data now" command to the burner and then
keeps on copying data from a disk file to the burner. Please explain how
and why it matters FOR THE BURN_CONTROL_PROGRAM how fast the burner
spins or whether there are grooves on the media. And, just to make sure,
no more explanations about why some formats have grooves in this
particular answer. Thanks.

You're mixing up a few things here. I prefer to use +RW for some
situations. Yes my burner has trouble with a certain -R media brand. So
what? Could euqally well have happened with a certain +R brand and means
nothing.
