Re: Trouble writing CD-R from DVD recorder

Mark Bratcher staggered into the Black Sun and said:
I have an LG DVD recorder that supports a whole pile of formats,
[but] every time I try to record to CD-R I get this:

# cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:1,1,0 speed=16 image.iso

It's usually better to use the raw device, often /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd
for IDE DVD+-RWs, despite Joerg's complaining about it. Works great;
I've been doing that with all my CD/DVD+-RWs ever since the 2.6 kernel
came out.

Use of ATA is preferred over ATAPI.
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained.
There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow.

....like the warning messages say, this is not recommended.

Vendor_info : 'HL-DT-ST' Identifikation : 'DVD+-RW GWA4164B'
Revision : 'D108'

Mine:
Vendor_info : 'HL-DT-ST' Identifikation : 'DVD-RAM GSA-H22L'
Revision : '1.00'

....so relatively different.

cdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 3A
Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0

Yep, this or similar errors are what I remember from trying to use ATA:
and ATAPI: .

I can write to DVD-Rs no problem, etc.

Using the exact same command? Odd. I haven't had any problems writing
CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD-R with this drive (problems were mostly with
the @#$%^ing cheap-arse motherboard I had for 6 months, argh.) So
something's off somewhere.
