Such DVDs are not readable in anything. Good news is that you can fixate them after the fact and they will become readable. Some people reported that additional invocation of "cdrecord -fix" works, some reported that it doesn't work. Fixating disk under Windows works every time (for example, in Nero go to disk info, it will show that disk is not closed and will offer you option of "closing" it, another name for fixation).
Can someone give me a pointer to a description of what is happening when a CD/DVD is being "fixated"? Or in general for the whole process of "burning".
"Fixating" is the same as "finalizing"...it's closing the burning session, so that other DVD-ROM drives can properly read it.
