Hi Gary,

Good call!

On the R710 (running 8.0) with the FreeBSD/amd64 8.0-R DVD image in the 
virtual drive:

(501) ~ $ sudo cdcontrol -v info
Password:
Starting track = 1, ending track = 1, TOC size = 4608 bytes
track     start  duration   block  length   type
-------------------------------------------------
    1   0:08.62  144:07.29     512    -662   data
    0   0:00.00         -    -150       -      -

On a different machine (running 6.4) with a real DVD burned from the same 
image in the drive:

(501) ~ $ sudo cdcontrol -v info
Password:
Starting track = 1, ending track = 1, TOC size = 18 bytes
track     start  duration   block  length   type
-------------------------------------------------
    1   0:02.00  235:08.05       0  1058105   data
  170  235:10.05         -  1058105       -      -

Something definitely not right there.

I can try with the same DVD in the internal drive on the R710 tomorrow, just 
in case that makes any difference.

Best regards,
