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.

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

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

....so relatively different.

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.

Try this one:

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd speed=1 padsize=63s -pad -dao -v -eject image.iso

Where /dev/hdd is your dvd writer drive.

You made some mistakes....

1) This is not cdrecord but a bastardized variant that is known to
have massive problems.

Use the latest official cdrtools instead:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

Make sure to install cdrecord suid root.

2) You used dev=ATAPI:1,1,0 which is just an interface to allow
CD/DVD writing with PCMCIA connected drives without causing
a Linux kernel panic.

If you have exactly one drive in your system, you may omit dev=
completely.

If you have more drives, run cdrecord -scanbus and select the
right drive.

No, it is definitely worse to use a parameter that if flagged "unsupported"
and deprecated.

Why do you like to use dev= at all? Cdrecord does not need it in case
you only have one drive.

I'm using the cdrecord that came with my Fedora Core 5 and it's worked in every case up until now.

I did run scanbus and I did enter the device as specified. But it claimed it couldn't find it.

I finally dual booted to Windows and tried the DVD-R there and it wouldn't write to CD-Rs either.
It would kick open the drive and ask for a blank CD-R even though I loaded one.

I finally returned the drive to Compgeeks.com and ordered a different brand. Awaiting shipment...

If you do not like help, we should stop this now.

I told you what to do in order to make it work.
Why do you stay with the defective fork instead of using the
working original softwware?
