Hello.
I look for a software to erase DVD when K3B fail to do that.
On windows system I used to use Roxio easy media creator. I haven’t it for now on my- windows 7.
Any suggestion ?
I use k3b on my DVD-RW
I have five DVDs that k3b does not erase :

And so on.
Can you format them in windows?
Ok.
I try to find an old version of EMC8 to install on my old XP laptop
Have you tried
dvd+rw-format -force /dev/dvd
(maybe you need to do it as root and if /dev/dvd is not right for your
device replace it by what it is e.g. /dev/sr0)

Looks like that the GUI app treat the first pass as job finished ?

Not sure about that because it is absolutely unclear to me what the
–gui option really does at all, it can also be that maybe the root
rights do the trick.
When a gui program fails I most often test the command it runs (as far
as it is possible if it runs a command and one can find out which)
without gui and without special options from the command line to see if
it makes a difference.
Obviously in that case there is a difference.
