[Debburn-devel] wodim -- on sony DVD-RW

xfburn+libburn was on Linux, not on Windows, i assume.

It seems that the drive does not like the write commands.

wodim is much a program for burning CD, not for DVD or BD.
It is a bit odd to send 62 kB per command to a media which
by its nature works with 32 kB.
So i would place my bet on this odd alignment. growisofs and libburn
write 32 or 64 kB per command. If i remember right then cdrecord
joined that club a few years ago.

BTW: Your drive is made by TSSTcorp = Toshiba and Samsung, not
     by Sony.

Details:

Used was a sequential DVD-RW which refuses to tell a table of content:

A session of 1006 blocks = 2,060,288 bytes got reserved without
complaints:

> Executing 'reserve track' command on Bus 1 Target 1, Lun 0 timeout 200s
> CDB:  53 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 EE 00
> cmd finished after 0.001s timeout 200s

A few successful write commands happenedi:

> Executing 'write_g1' command on Bus 1 Target 1, Lun 0 timeout 200s
> CDB:  2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1F 00
> [...]
> CDB:  2A 00 00 00 01 36 00 00 1F 00

The first write error happened when block 341 to 371
was to be written:

> Errno: 5 (Input/output error), write_g1 scsi sendcmd: no error
> CDB:  2A 00 00 00 01 55 00 00 1F 00
> status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
> Sense Bytes: 71 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 04 08 00 00
> Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, deferred error, Segment 0
> Sense Code: 0x04 Qual 0x08 (logical unit not ready, long write in progress) Fru 0x0

For some reason writing did not stop and more write commands
caused more error replies.


The error occured before the drive buffer of 672 blocks = 1,376,256
bytes was full:
