I use my own program xorriso, mostly in scripts as the list of arguments can become lengthy. If you describe what you want to do then i could describe what i would do. > xfburn claims burn mode isn't implemented yet, Sounds like https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1952263#p1952263 Proposed remedy is to click at the button with the circular arrow beneath a text field which tells the medium type (in that case "DVD+R"). > k3b insists on reformatting a dvd+rw, In the first few write runs of a DVD+RW life, the drive reports yjay the medium is partly formatted. A skilled burn program then issues the SCSI command for background formatting, waits a dozen seconds until a reply arrives from the drive and then begins to write while formatting goes on. (Only DVD+RW can be formatted that way.) > but then does not recognize it to burn the image. Do you have any exact messages which i could search in Debian's K3B sources ? ( https://sources.debian.org/src/k3b/24.05.2-1/ ) Maybe i can find out what's its woes in terms of drive and medium. > Is there some magic invocation I'm not doing? So you want to burn an image file to DVD+RW. I'd do in a shell terminal with appropriate content in variables "drive" and "image": drive=/dev/sr0 image=...path.to.the.image.file... xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev="$drive" fs=16m -eject "$image" If something goes wrong, there should be error messages which i'd ask you to copy+paste into a mail to this list or to my mail address if you deem them unsuitable for public exposure. Have a nice day :) Thomas
