Yes, I remember the ASCII table's control codes, and "ASC" could mean exactly that, "ASCII Code"; maybe ACQ is "ASCII Queue"? And SK? No idea. I'd be interested if there is a reference list somewhere that would explain the codes and the values. The "file" is a subdirectory containing the files for a DVD (created with a script I wrote, which runs mencoder for file conversion, creates the XML description for the DVD, then runs dvdauthor, and finally growisofs), stored on a SSD, with no further system activity. Here is a "session hardcopy" of the last step I executed manually (as this can easily be repeated): $ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video -r -J -udf dvd/ WARNING: /dev/dvd already carries isofs! About to execute 'mkisofs -dvd-video -r -J -udf dvd/ | builtin_dd of=/dev/pass0 obs=32k seek=0' Warning: Disabling Joliet support for DVD-Video. Setting input-charset to 'ISO8859-1' from locale.

But "unsupported"? Maybe this particular drive doesn't like the brand? But I also tried a different one, and in the past, I _did_ once successfully burn a DVD (of the same brand!) with that particular drive, sonething not totally uncommon: My father's Dell laptop doesn't like one specific brand of DVDs to record, but works fully as expected with a different brand. Other drives seem to be picky about DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW which is also confusing for people. :-) My "solution" was to scp dvd/ over to my home PC and use _that_ to burn the files - same kind of medium, worked without problems. Sadly, I don't have a spare "slot-in" optical unit for the R61i, so it would be interesting to see if a different drive would lead to a change of results... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
