[Dvdrtools-users] Sony DRU-500A: Cannot even burn DVD+/-Rs

[Dominique Alessandri]

Hi,

Would anybody have clue what's going wrong here? When using
cdrecord-ProDVD I get similar output (command sequence error etc.).

For an empty DVD-R I get the following (regardless whether I use -dummy or 
not):

# dvdrecord -dao -dummy dev=3,0,0 /tmp/foo.iso
