[Debburn-devel] Burning corrupted data CDs with wodim

I'd say the drive is not behaving in a normal
way. This might indicate drive deterioration or
poor media.

You should next test whether program wodim 
burns successfully with option -sao .

If your wodim tests show similar success as
xfburn SAO, then Brasero should offer it at least
as user option.

Brasero already issues "cdrecord" option tsize=.
So it can use -sao together with input from
any source.
(SAO needs to know the input size in advance,
TAO can start blindly and will end when input
ends.)

Brasero already has a libburn plugin. I am not
aware what write mode it uses by default.


Have a nice day :)
