An odd one.. 5:21h seems to be something to do with packet reading

Hm... sorry, where do you read 5: in the message above?
And why do you think it has to do with packet reading?

This means the drive does not support (or recognise) > the media.

You mean the actual drive (meaning it's physically unable to burn DVD-R, but that's not the case from the reviews I've found) or its software driver / device file? May it be some configuration physical microswitch in the drive?

/dev/hdc: "Current Write Speed" is 16.4x1385KBps.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't find any "SK=5h/ASC=30h/ACQ=05h" combination in that page or the one it points to, http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/keys.txt

I have printed them and will study them more carefully, but any furhter help or suggestion on how to (re)run
growisofs is very welcome.

On a related note, did i do wrong or right to blank
the dvd before attempting this write command (see
original message for the exact syntax)?

THanks,
Ando
