1st those man pages are huge !!!

i'm trying to burn an iso with a dvd burner on a cdr media (700mb)
on Fedora Core 2, AMD2500, 2 CDR's
1 IDE 1,0 'NEC 2510A DVDRW'
2 IDE 1,1 'RICHO CDRW'

what to do ?

Try dev=/dev/hdc

ATAPI burning works and is better than SCSI emulation. 8)

it worked ! thank you.

just for my basic understanding - why didn't it worked with SCSI emulation ?

Maybe because of the -- you had in front of the "dev=" arg. That's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. :D

Glad to hear that it works now, though. As I said, SCSI emulation is no longer needed for burning. I even believe that most GUI frontends to cdrecord are actually using this functionality. I've been (using CL cdrecord) using ATAPI burning for some time now...possibly a year. 8)

:) ok then "let it be"

thnx again.
