I have a Yamaha IDE 4416 writer. When I use cdrwtool to format a cdrw disc, with the command: cdrwtool -d /dev/scd0 -q it formats the disc to 441MB.
However, DirectCD formats the same disc to 538MB. Is this behaviour normal? Is it possible to format it to 538MB with cdrwtool? Thanks.
I looked into this a while ago.. As far as I can tell, if you do a full blank on the disc, you get the right size.. but a quick blank gives the reduced size. Fidling around, I couldn't find a way to get the correct size from the disc once a quick format was done (other than just guessing if the size looks small).. This is with a Yamaha 8/4/24.. Ben
