Usually DVD+RW/R is slightly more reliable for data burning than DVD-RW/R ...
But it might be worth checking the capabilities of the drive with.
wodim -prcap -dev=/dev/dvd
This is what I got
Andredo@linux-Andre:~> wodim -prcap -dev=/dev/dvd wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
Try as root, if this error disappears you may have to set the suid ...

Your DVD does not burn DVD+ media use DVD- media
My error, seems that output does distinguish DVD- and DVD+ media capabilities (I thought it used to but memory must have been playing tricks last night).
Yet I have this same file burned on a DVD+ , as SPD2412 should do!

This does not look correct to me... I get on a different device....

Plus some further info in both cases... This looks rather odd but it seems as if the available modes are adjusted according to what media is in the device. I would do a few experiments to see what is being reported.
At last I cleared a disk with
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/zero and burned again with growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso and got the same as with K3b and Nerolinux: 32 items 26 files (15.9 MB total) 6 maps and no possibility to even see that in Vista. So I have learned much, I'm very thankfull to those who did suggestions and bought the openSUSE box!!! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
