9 This part is claiming that your burner was unable to figure out what the
10 correct power level is for writing to the media. This is entirely
11 controlled in hardware, so there is no legitimate reason why your
12 version of cdrecord should have any effect. It is almost always caused by:
13
14 * Bad media
15 * Bad hardware
16 * Insufficient power supply
17
18 You've basically eliminated #1 by using the same media successfully, and
19 #3 isn't the kind of thing that just crops up, so I suspect your
20 recorder is starting to fail. (It could be as simple as a dirty lens).
21 The only question is why older versions of cdrecord continue to work.
22
23 Can you post the output from a successful run on the same ISO as this?
24 It would be helpful to see if cdrecord is using different settings for
25 the different versions. In particular, if it defaulted to a lower burn
26 speed, or didn't enable BURNFREE by default, those may change the power
27 requirements.
