Many thanks for your reply. I did try cdrecord-prodvd version 2.0 before 
and tried it again. Regardless whether I use DVD-R or +R medias, I get 
these "illegal request" failures. I start wondering whether there might be 
a problem with libsg. 

Does somebody know how to interpret these error messages?

Thanks
Dominique
