There is an holy dependency bug witch is integrated into Fedora from ages. Let me explain: <br><br>There are two programs what you could use to write CD's, DVD's - one is the deprecated: and well hated bogus wodim (what is an debian zombie fork of an old-timer cdrtools), and the another is libburnia. If you look around, between the gnome/kde programs mostly they are looking for wodim - but couldn't tell you why. But sometimes they are using libburnia, witch currently under development, but works like a charm. <br>
The problem exists mostly because of wodim - there are many types of bugs, what includes permission rights and many more types too. I don't know why are the programs are still using this engine...<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Hi,<br>
<br>
if reading the wodim manpage, the -blank option is said to be for CD's only:<br>
..........<br>
blank=type<br>
Blank a CD-RW and exit or blank a CD-RW before writing. The<br>
blanking type may be one of:<br>
.............<br>
<br>
For erasing DVD's, I use "growisofs ... -Z ..."<br>
