Schilling'). Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : Vendor_info : 'LITE-ON ' Identifikation : 'DVDRW SOHW-1213S' Revision : 'TS09' Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW. cdrecord: Found DVD media: using cdr_mdvd. Using generic SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver (mmc_mdvd). Driver flags : SWABAUDIO BURNFREE Supported modes: PACKET SAO cdrecord: Track 2 has unknown length. cdrecord: Use tsize= option in SAO mode to specify track size. So it looks as though this is more or less what's needed, but that last line is worrying. In this directory, every other file is in the region of 12-14 B long. And it will be like that in every single backup made. Is it possible that each file is being treated as a separate track, and cdrecord can't make a track so small? Anne
