"4d ... 30" says as drive model "MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ8C0"

The "09" says that a CD-R is recognized.

Grrrr !

  01 07 15 04 1f 00 00 00
is the promise to support Stream Recording.

But this is the drive of which we know that it does not accept it.
This drive gave the clueless error code 5 30 05 "incompatible format".

I found out meanwhile why the first two WRITE commands were accepted
and only the third caused the error:
Xfburn tells libburn to start Stream Recording not at block 0 but at
block 32. That's where the third WRITE command is supposed to put its
data.

Again, a CD-R is recognized.

The "10" in
  01 07 10 04 1f 00 00 00
tells that this drive currently is not ready to do Stream Recording

With the questionable CD-R from a failed attempt on the other drive
it reported at write block 32 a plausible error:
  [5 24 00] "Invalid field in cdb."
("cdb" is string of the bytes which make up a SCSI command.)

It would still be interesting to see whether this drive would tolerate
a WRITE command with Streaming bit if the CD-R is untouched yet.

Chances are not overly good, though.
I could understand if you don't want to sacrifice another CD-R just
for curiosity and finer understanding of the world-wide drive population.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The drive in the T400 is a problem. Obviously it does not know in advance
that it will refuse on the Streaming bit. So libburn cannot know either.

This will demand more coarse safety precautions.
I have to ponder whether there is any potential use of Stream Recording
with media other than DVD-RAM, BD-R, and BD-RE.


Have a nice day :)
