I clicked on 3.7.4 in the main post and was offered 3.73 to download.

@Zigbert, could you weigh-in here? Your expertise and your insight could help the community with your views and efforts.

One of the problems here is when the UDF CD/DVD/BD is inserted. It will not mount in Puppy, So, I not sure if PBUrn will be able to provide community assistance. But, you may have a recommendation for Barry or others of us to help.

Thanks in advance for any advice you provide us.

There are other guys around here that are much more skilled than I am.

I am not a Windows-user, so I haven't met the compatibility issues when it comes to UDF. The Universal-Disc-Format doesn't seem to be THAT universal to me.

I have added UDF in Pburn simply because mkisofs supports it.

Burning further sessions to an already used disc requires to use the (exact) same burning settings as the initial session. That is why further burning often fails even if trying to continue burning of a Linux-burnt disc. Another burning app might use different default settings. If you imaging to continue to write to a disc initialized in Windows for UDF (which is not Universal), I think you are aiming high.

BUT! On the other hand. If you succeed and Pburn requires some tweaking to work, I am more than happy to include new improvements to the next Pburn release.

Thanks @Zigbert for your understanding

I understood (even the first time you replied on your thread) what you are getting at.

And yes, there seems to be 2 distinct issues; one of which is identified and addressed, while the other surfaced immediately after.

The issues:

• Recognition of the media and mounting (addressed)
  
• With mounted media, the ability to write/generate a UDF media which can continue to read/written to from Linux/Macs/Windows.

This is the reasons for drawing your attention to that thread.

Thanks, thus far for your and @Disciple's insights and assistance you provide to this area of media.

Here to help

Have tried repeatedly to blank a Verbatim DVD+RW disk.
When try to blank it in Pburn 3.7.4, Pburn displays :

"please insert disc - if disc is already in tray, please reinsert it"

But no amount of reinserting seems to make a difference.

When I access it with the "disk info" tab, the message is " no writable media"

The disk holds a working copy of Knoppix 7.0.1 liveDVD, and is viewable and navigable under W2K. Unfortunately, I don't have a Windows app installed with which to blank it, nor does there seem to be another app in Lupupluslibre for blanking a DVD.

Is there a pet or a lupu-compatible deb package I could install to do this? The disk has barely been read half a dozen times since being burned, and has no visible blemishes.

Otropogo, what happens when you put the disk in the drive? I don't mean to be rude, but are you sure the drive is a DVD burner and that it is working? (Some drives, called combination drives, can burn CDs but only read DVDs.) What does Pburn say about it if you put in a blank DVD-R?
