hi all
i have one more question with growisofs command line burning tool
so i could burn the some.iso iso9660 image to dvd ±rw media but i could not cd
i offten burn dvd with this command
growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=some.iso
but when i put in dvd writer cdrw media it returnes with
> growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=some.iso
/dev/sr0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0
or
/dev/sr0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: A
is in growisofs program something special to burn cdr(w) images
DVD rewritable and CD rewritable media differ in characteristics. For one thing you will notice that DVD±RW is purple while CD-RW is pale gold/silver (partly depends on the backing colour). Different dyes. CD-RW has to be blanked first, DVD±RW doesn’t; you can just overwrite the existing data. A format of a DVD±RW is possible but normally not needed or recommended.
So for blanking/writing CD-RW the CLI program to use is wodim, not growisofs.
If you were using k3b or brasero these details would have been taken care of for you.
Hi, ken_yap

the problem is here and same… I have no idea to solve the problem…
Most of the time you don’t need blank=all, blank=fast will do. Only when the calibration area is used up do you need to clear it with blank=all. Again this is something k3b takes care of for you.
You need to use wodim to do both the blanking and the writing. Don’t use growisofs for CDs.
i want to add some more
i hope this helps somebody
wodim myisoimage.iso
this burn my CD from image myisoimage.iso
it simple when you know
