[Debburn-devel] write fails even though test burn with dummy showed no errors

Hi,

I usually perform a test burn with the -dummy switch before actually
writing a disc.

Recently I ran into an error burning a disc even though the test
showed no errors.  Isn't the -dummy switch supposed to catch errors
like these?  And if not can you let me know if there is a switch I can
use instead?

The output of both runs is below, I've removed the irrelevant sections
to reduce the length.

Thanks in advance
