   Hum, mine is a:
   cd0 at atapibus0 drive 0: <Optiarc DVD+/-RW AD-5170S, , 101B> cdrom removable

   it's over SATA but I don't think it makes a difference.


I can't check right now, but I think that the Sony/Optiarc I had was a
AD-7170A.  I don't remember the firmware version.  I did make sure to put
it on its own bus, as I had one to spare.

   No luck with a dvd: I still get
   Track 01:    0 of 2531 MB written.cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: 
scsi sendcmd: fatal error
   CDB:  2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1E 00
   resid: 61440
   cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 200s


I remember seeing something like that, just one time.  I never knew why
since things worked fine with previous burns, but suspected media, which I
tossed in the waste can and tried the burn again.


Can you give growisofs a try??  I switched to it some time ago and have
not looked back.  Something like:

    growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=1 -Z /dev/rcd0d=[some premastered file]

should work.  Its in pkgsrc.  Today, I only use cdrecord for burning CD-R.
