Try another DVD writer.
Failing commands functioned properly when used with a USB-attached LG
M/N GE24LU20 DVD writer.
Check DVD writer firmware revision. Upgrade the firmware if a newer revision is available.
Both growisofs and cdrecord commands above that fail on a Plextor
PX-750A-UF 1.01 burner succeed with the same drive after a firmware
update to PX-750A-UF 1.03.
/usr/local/bin/cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 SUU_14.03.00_A00.iso
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr1=SUU_14.03.00_A00.iso
Other benefits to firmware upgrade are probable. For instance, the
PX-750A-UF 1.01 firmware device wrote the dual layer DVD at about 2.4x
but the 1.03 firmware wrote the media at a 6x rate.
Concerning the layer break, it was interesting to observe cdrecord pausing a long time at the 4023 MB point (half way) and right before the 4025 MB point where cdrecord failed when working with the drive when it had the older firmware. It had the appearance that the delay may have been due to a layer switch operation.
This question looks indeed like a duplicate of
question 68426.
But the answers there are partly wrong in respect to dd.
The fact that Linux reports the drive as CD-ROM does not indicate that
it cannot be used for writing. CD-ROM is just one of the drive's many jobs.
Yours is obviously an LG DVD burner. Classified by Linux as "24x/24x writer".
Whether you can write to an optical medium by help of dd depends on
the medium type:
Formatted CD-RW, formatted DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, BD-RE,
and BD-R in modes POW or RRM are supposed to work with dd.
These media behave in many ways like slow hard disks or giant floppies.
Linux would be willing to mount them writable if you put a writable
filesystem on it. E.g. ext2 or FAT.
(But Don't ! Performance is awful. Media wear-off is terrible.
Use burn programs or dd to write them.)
Before dd works on newly purchased media, formatting has to be done once by dvd+rw-format or
one of the burn programs below. (dvd+rw-format is the formatter
companion of growisofs.)
CD-R, unformatted DVD-RW or CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, and
BD-R in mode SRM can only be written by help of a burn program. Candidates
in Debian Jessie are on command line wodim for CD, growisofs for DVD/BD,
cdrskin, xorriso for CD/DVD/BD. GUI programs are xfburn, brasero,
k3b and possibly some more.
Best Answer
You can't use
ddthis way (it might work for DVD-RAM though). What you are looking for isgrowisofs- (the main) part of dvd+rw-tools.
