Unable to burn good DVD+R

might be a duplicate of bug #76058. CDs don't burn either. They get wodim errors using a GUI and produce coasters if you use the command line.

I stand corrected, it does seem to be a problem with genisoimage.

I took an image I created on Linux to windows, I could mount the image as a virtual disc just like I could loopback on Linux, however when I burned the .iso it junked another DVD.

So I created an .iso using nero, and burned it fine using k3b. So it seems genisoimage is making iso's that are no good.

Well my lack of knowledge on the differences between +RW and +R keep me from doing much more fact gathering on this.

loopback mounting and +RW work +R doesn't: That makes me think the ISO genisoimage made _must_ be good, and growisofs must be having problems with burning it.

Only windows fails burning with the .iso made by genisoimage as well, and growisofs has no problem writing to +R's with an iso made in windows.

I don't know which one to blame. I guess the one constant is that neither windows nor Linux can burn +R's with an iso created with genisoimage?

Well, guess it's genisoimage for sure, I installed mkisofs and burned a good DVD+R for the first time in weeks.

Can't burn DVD-R's either, I grabbed some maxell -R's to try, windows will burn them just fine. Again no errors reported when burning, but they are unreadable.
