No. I do not know about any growisofs flaws with DVD. |
8 |
|
9 |
(Besides its -use-the-force-luke magic which is reserved |
10 |
for those who read growisofs.c additionally to its man page.) |

The bug fix has an effect only if you submit a blank BD-R. |
16 |
It is necessary if one cannot live with growisofs reporting error |
17 |
and returning a non-zero exit value. |
18 |
|
19 |
There are rumors that the inappropriate command spoils the burn. |
20 |
But this is not very plausible because the Pseudo Overwrite |
21 |
burn is already done when the error happens. |
22 |

That must have been something else. |
29 |
|

Closing the medium should indeed happen with -dvd-compat. |
31 |
But of course one cannot close DVD+RW, formatted DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, |
32 |
or BD-RE ... and obviously not Pseudo Overwrite BD-R. |
33 |
|
34 |
dvd+rw-mediainfo would have told what's up with the medium |
35 |
after the burn. (It helps to have a copy of MMC specs at hand |
36 |
when reading its output.) |
37 |
|
38 |
|
39 |
My offer holds: I am willing to investigate any burn problems. |
40 |
Be it with my own software or the one of others. |
41 |
(I must restrict my offer insofar that i will not waste lots |
42 |
of expensive one-time media for mistakes which i did not make |
43 |
myself.) |
44 |
|
45 |
A typical first experiment will be to use my own software |
46 |
with the problematic combination of burner and medium. |
47 |
This shall not mean that in the end i will urge people to |
48 |
switch to my stuff. The goal will be to find out what's |
49 |
wrong with the user's situation and how to possibly fix it. |

Have a nice day :) |
