Author Problems dvd burning on Sony DRU700A

I just bought a Sony DRU770A double-layer DVD+-(re)writer and already
succesfully recorded a DVD+RW with a 3.9 GB iso. It's put inside a Pentium
III, 450 MHz PC running RedHat Fedora Core 1. Now I wanted to record a
DVD+R (Arita, 2.4X DVD+R) with it and so I did:


[root@manaus apt]# cdrecord-prodvd-2.01a27-i686-pc-linux-gnu dev=0,0,0
driveropts=burnfree,dvd,forcespeed -sao -data -dummy /tmp/burn/iso/dvd.iso

Despite the error messages at the start of the writing process (the
'faio_wait_on_buffer for writer timed out' error occurred after about 5
minutes, but then, the writer is burn-proof, so I didn't pay too much
attention to it, and I don't know what 'Cannot open next track' means,
because I only wrote one track as far as I know. Now after this dummy
write, although it seems to have to do only with DVD- format, I decided to
re-export the key and so I did:


[root@manaus apt]# export CDR_SECURITY=8:dvd,clone:sparc-sun-solaris2,i386-pc-solaris2,i586-pc-linux,powerpc-apple,hppa,powerpc-ibm-aix,i386-unknown-freebsd,i386-unknown-openbsd,i386-unknown-netbsd,powerpc-apple-netbsd,i386-pc-bsdi,mips-sgi-irix,i386-pc-s

[root@manaus apt]#


And after this I tried to write the DVD+R in 'real' mode:


[root@manaus apt]# cdrecord-prodvd-2.01a27-i686-pc-linux-gnu dev=0,0,0

Which as you can see failed miserably.
Strange enough, when I took another blank DVD and repeated the -dummy
trial (so the only difference with the first trial was that now it was
done WITH the dvd- properties enabling key) and the result looked positive:

But I don't know what could have made the difference with the first trial.
Is it suddenly not needed to 'enable DMA' anymore?
Now I don't want to spill another blanc DVD giving it another try in
'real' mode out of the blue. Could anybody give me some hints as to what
the problem is and what to do about it?


Thanks,
Flip

Thanks!
I looked at the site you indicated, and found the text almost illegible,
that is, after two times reading I still couldn't figure out why I should
use these tools as cdrecord-prodvd just should be able to do the job I
want (command line dvd recording from one full sized iso) as well.
I guess that site is 'geek-only'

However, in the mean time I found the error, which turned out to be that
cdrecord-prodvd does *not* implement the -dummy option, although it
doesn't protest when used either.
So after 'testing' with the '-dummy' option, the dvd was already fully
written, and logically the 'real write' would fail.
