LBA=10h means that the second WRITE command yielded a failure message from the drive. The accusation is strange. I have seen this only with cdrecord yet, when the Linux kernel reported (falsely) to cdrecord that the bytes of the previous WRITE command had not been transmitted. cdrecord then repeated the WRITE command and got above error reply. Looking at the code of function poor_mans_pwrite64() in growisofs_mmc.cpp https://sources.debian.net/src/dvd%2Brw-tools/7.1-11/growisofs_mmc.cpp/#L466 it seems that growisofs repeats WRITE commands only when the drive invites this by one of two "NOT READY" replies: "LONG WRITE IN PROGRESS" and "IN PROCESS OF BECOMING READY". Whatever, this behavior is not normal. > followed by 'updating RMA' (this is new), RMA means "Recording Management Area". This is on DVD-R what Table-of-Content is on CD-R. It records the structure of sessions and tracks. growisofs says "updating RMA" before it issues the CLOSE TRACK/SESSION command at the end of a DVD-R run with write type "Incremental". https://sources.debian.net/src/dvd%2Brw-tools/7.1-11/growisofs_mmc.cpp/#L1908 If you can talk K3B into using write type "DAO" (aka "Disc-at-Once"), then this might be worth a try. Given the endurance with failure, i have few hope for success, though. > Again the burner and k3b > work fine doing other functions , like burning regular CD's Afaik, the lasers for CD and DVD are different devices inside the burner. (I recently had the case that a Blu-ray burner lost its sight for BD media but not for DVD or CD.)
