Dear Sir Thomas Schmitt,

I tried to answer few of your questions.

i assigned the bug report to libburn4 because the error message
comes from there. According to the posted log, wodim is not involded.
xfburn uses libburn4, too.

Thank's for putting on the right track. :)

The drive reported to the library that it cannot write to that
particular DVD-R. Already the first write command for writing
blocks 0 to 15 did fail.

This is not a software error but a problem between drive and
medium. It might change if you try to burn a different medium
or if you try to burn the failed medium in a different drive.
(If the failed burn attempt left it writable.)

Nevertheless there are some preparations sent from software
to drive which may make a difference on DVD-R. So it is not
completely outruled yet, that different software could yield
better results.

*Okay, for this the DVD, i once put wrong disc to burn, and it doesn't
multisession.*
but when i insert the blank DVD, the messages come too, the problem exist.
so i think this wasn't only DVD disc failure.

> fail to reads DVD that successfully burned using external DVD drive

This looks like the drive is failing. (How old is it ?
LG GT34N seems to be quite a recent model.)

The DVD drive was built-in with my laptop. My Laptop was ASUS N43SL built
on 2011.

Can the external drive read that DVD ?

yes, the external USB DVDRW can read and write correctly.

I have some more questions your following statements:

> 2. Cant read spesific format DVD (its can readed by WinOS)

"spesific format DVD" riddles me.
Did you get a message about the specific DVD format ?
(From what program ? What was the exact message ?)

I meant that specific brand, I'm sorry if i did mis-typing...
because that I can read/write my DVD-RW disc correctly, so I suppoused that
brand-based

Was the external drive attached to a Linux computer while burning
and while reading ?

Yes, I did burn first by my Internal DVDRAM drive (that failed) then I
tried my brother USB DVDRW drive, and work correctly.

Were the write and read attempts on MS-Windows done with the
same drive that does not write or read under Linux ?
(I.e. did you boot Windows on the Linux machine ?)

First, I was installed windows 7 before i did install debian 8, and the
drive works correctly.
second, I did check the burned DVD (by USB DVDRW) using another PC, and
readed correctly.


Sir, I'm sorry for my bad english, but somehow I sure that this just like
mis-detecting the correct type of my DVD drive, or there's a list that
supported media type by wodim/libburn4 or the burner. This argument based
on the USB DVDRW that works correctly under my laptop with debian 8.

another trial or suggestion maybe can help, and i will do it to help solve
this trouble.

Thanks for your kindly.

best regards,



Brianajie W.
