Hi all, Sorry for the load of posts this week, but I've got a new toybox and they aren't working well... I'm trying to use dvd+rw-tools port to burn DVD's. My first problem was that after burning a DVD, I was unable to eject it. I had to reboot the machine and only then could I get the disc out. Otherwise, it appears to have burned ok. Now I'm trying to erase the disc so I can try burning a larger volume. I've tried using dvd+rw-format, as follows: dvd+rw-format /dev/cd0 I then got * DVD±RW format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.5. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. - media is not blank - you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with: -force[=full] to enforce new format or mode transition and wipe the data; -blank[=full] to change to Sequential mode. I've since tried dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/cd0 and dvd+rw-format -blank=full and both returned the error: * DVD±RW format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.5. * 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected. - [unable to umount]: Bad file descriptor Has anyone successfully written or erased DVD-RW media on FreeBSD 5.1 using this tool from ports ? Thanks in advance. -- Wayne Pascoe The thing is, I was POSITIVE that I wasn't actually depressed, just that life had no meaning and I was tired of living.
