Re: [opensuse] Conclusion of: Cannot burn DVDs from the command line



* auxweb@xxxxxxxxx <auxweb@xxxxxxxxx> [08-12-07 11:42]:
To the best of my knowledge, right now, the only problem seems to have
been either DVD-R discs which *I* blanked before attempting to burn
;-) because I hadn't slept enough, or truly defective ones. Starting
again the whole procedure with another new box of DVD-R didn't show
any of the problems I reported and all the files have been backed up
safely.


You may also expierence a problem related to DVD-R media which is not
*universally* compatable with all burners (iirc). And after reading
the lifetime expectation and failure rates related to the two media
standards, DVD-R and DVD+R, I have converted *all* DVD-R media I have
to the DVD+R standard and no longer purchase DVD-R media.
