OK, here is a wierd one, I was able to rescue all three mini dvd-rw in which two I reported as bad. One of the problems is lossy prep at the factory, I wrote about it in the message one line backup of root.
The problem was two fold. One BarryK's scripts really make it difficult for non DVD-R types ( My view is he put an over protected method on growisofs, checks that it does internally ) and second all rw media must be 'setup' prior to use.
I have been able to use without problems muli-session DVD mini in all versions with the hints on this link

note: if you use this method close all programs on desktop, like mozilla. terminal is ok to leave open. Otherwise lock files will cause problems on reboot. Oh and the methods listed above link also work with DVD-RAM disks/media, but much faster.

TD,

I'll give that a shot, since I get blanking errors occassionally under Windows too with these 2 discs.

Hopefully, that tool isn't too hard to find.
