Damn. This ballooned into a bigger issue.

Unless I misunderstood,  Dave you said,
"And *yes*, his cdrecord is much better than wodim."

jdd you said,
"with wodim, the write takes forever (0x6 approx) and always fails at
fixing. The disk seems to be good though.

With cdrecord from Joerg, the write is done at full (4x) speed and
witjhout error."

So infact Dave you are incorrect in your previous email,
"One thing that confuses me is your experience of wodim is the exact
opposite of at least jdd and myself."

It seems both of you have had issue with wodim as well as me. It's the
original cdrecord that seems excellent. Not the other way around

When I read your were confirming above that your had wodim issues as
well, I asked why was it even included in openSUSE? No that, that is
the most important thing at the moment.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
