I guess, that the two CD-writers have different ways to close a session. At least it looks so. Or one drive writes in raw-packet mode. There are several options. Is the image corrupted after burning or does it work correctly? You can try to upgrade to the recent cdrtools, but I guess you won't have luck with this problem. As long as this strange problem does not harm in a hard way, I'll close this bug as WONTFIX. But first, you should get time for further testings ;-) No answer within a week. Closing this bug as WONTFIX. I have limited access to my computers at the moment so I can't really make any tests the coming month. What kind of tests would be requested? As far as I can see, the reading of the images seems to be drive related, and therefore kernel related. I have access to 3 different CD/DVD drives. What can I do more to test this in addition to the initial testing? The images read back are byte identical to the original. The difference is that the image from one drive lack some data in the end (and therefore loose data) while the image from the other drive have some garbage at the end. |
