The hardware is rx2660 with an internal DVD burner that reports as "_NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A".
The same hardware works fine with CD-R media.
Surfing suggests that this drive supports +-R +-RW and +-R DL for burning DVDs, so I suspect that there may be a specific limitation in COPY/RECORD.
The online help is somewhat vague on this point: "CDDVD supports the recording of various optical media formats, including CD Recordable (CD-R), CD Rewritable (CD-RW), DVD Recordable (DVD+R) and DVD Rewritable (DVD+RW) formats."
Can anyone confirm or refute
* COPY/RECORD does not work with DVD-R
* COPY/RECORD does work with DVD+R
?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: COPY/RECORD with DVD-R
For a while HP seemed to have gone with DVD+R - I have several HP products (both hardware and software) that are clearly documented as DVD+R only. I'm not sure if this is still (or ever was) some sort of corporate policy.
Although there are plenty of technical arguments in favour of +R, the market seems to have gone for the (usually cheaper) -R format :-( The range of +R media available is getting more limited, and it's usually slightly more expensive than equivalent -R product. (Beta vs VHS all over again? ;-)
Both the hardware and the software have to support the blank media.
From my experience with DVD and CD media, it's a false economy to buy cheap blanks. Best bet is to find a brand of blank which works with all your stuff and stick with it.
(contact me off line if you want any specific recommendations)

Re: COPY/RECORD with DVD-R
Not I. I use cdrecord, part of the cdrtools
package. I believe that I've written both
DVD+R and DVD-R discs with it.

Not as descriptive as it might be.
Interface? (I've used only SCSI and IDE, not
USB.)

How do I tell?
I couldn't find any clear statement on the HP web site in respect of the rx2660.
I couldn't find any DCL command to answer the question.
I suspect "IDE".

Re: COPY/RECORD with DVD-R
What's the device name? On Alpha, IDE
devices tend to be DQxx.
An energetic person might do a Web search for
the model number.

Re: COPY/RECORD with DVD-R
The surfing referred to in the original query came from the NEC web site.

Re: COPY/RECORD with DVD-R
Sounds to me like USB. Output from, say,
UCM SHOW DEVICE /FULL DNA0 would probably be
conclusive.

And did it say which interface this thing
has?
One might also pop the cover and inspect.

Re: COPY/RECORD with DVD-R
I'll leave it to HP to discuss future plans for DVD-R/RW.
All present-generation devices typically support CD, DVD+R/RW and DL, and DVD-R/RW DL. And sometimes DVD-RAM and Blu-ray (BD) formats.
The I/O bus involved matters not particularly; there are minor differences between USB and ATAPI and SCSI interfaces, but the command sets are the same. There are device-to-device differences, however.
There are various (undocumented) tools for probing the devices and for various recording-related tasks present in SYS$ETC: directory.
Media-recording and media-mastering discussions are available in various places including here:
