Hello! I had the same problem as you; while doing a bit of research I discovered that from the time Marcus' page was written the options for cdrecord have changed; executing the command cdrecord dev=x,x,x -multi -xa1 data.raw adds a mode 2 session to the cd, thus broking the MIL-CD format and producing a coaster. I resolved the thing using (under Fedora linux) cdrecord dev=x,x,x -multi -xa data.raw which adds a mode 1 session to the image. Funny thing is that while reading man pages under Fedora the option is clearly described, -xa is used for mode1, while -xa1 produces 23xx bytes data tracks. If I read the man pages from NetBSD (web) the option -xa1 and -xa2 produce always 2048 bytes format data tracks... http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?cdrecord+pkg+NetBSD-current More than funny, on Schily's man page for cdrecord 2.0 there's no -xa or -xa1 option described in the man page.... http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/man/cdrecord-2.0.html Why are all different? Not on the list, regards. Simone Caronni
