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 |

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. |

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. |
