Comment 6 for bug 451350

You are not using cdrecord but a defective fork from a very old version.

The fork was created by a hostile downstream who is missing the needed
skills for SCSI programming. The fork was given up on May 6th 2007.

There are more than 100 well known problems in the fork (most of them
did not exist in the original software) and there was never made an attempt
to fix these problems. None of the known problems exists in the original
software.

So far, I've not seen a drive that does support RAW writing, so you definitely
should try out the original software

BTW: It is always a good idea to check the original software.
