I can burn CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R DL. But when I try DVD-R DL I get

erny@mitchell:~$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr1=/home/erny/tmp/xyz.iso
Executing 'builtin_dd if=/home/erny/tmp/xyz.iso of=/dev/sr1 obs=32k seek=0'
:-[ READ DVD STRUCTURE #10h failed with SK=8h/ASC=ABh/ACQ=80h]: Input/output error

The drive can burn DVD-R DL when I use Nero on Windows Pro 2000.

I hope this helps. It looks like many others are having similar problems. - Erny
