Re: [Dvdrtools-users] Pioneer DVR-103, DVD-R burning, SCSI errors

[dvdr]

Turning DMA off enabled me to write out a DVD.

Wicked.  Tubular, even.

...It's a mystery why my init scripts turned DMA off and
then on again for hdb, but that's another story -- as is my
proficiency at creating DVDs that do more than just mount as
ISO9660 filesystems (like, for example, play)...

Thanks x 10^10!
