[Linux-disciples] dvd partial burning

[Adam Kessel]

Have you tried using -v and/or -vv?  I don't actually have growisofs, but
I believe it has the same options as mkisofs.  -v is verbose and -vv is
very verbose.

Is this problem reproducible, or has it only happened with one DVD-R?
Might you just have a bad DVD-R?  Is it a DVD-R or a DVD-RW?
