Hi,
I do realize this isnt the right place for the query, but I really dint
know where else to ask.
My fedora system cannot burn dvds properly. That is, my laptop burner
and the new USB burner I got just today. I'm using "wodim" and it
continually wastes dvds.
Here is an example:
[Ankur@Ankur Fedora-11-i386-DVD]$ wodim -scanbus
scsibus4:
4,0,0 400) 'HL-DT-ST' 'DVDRAM GSA-4084N' 'KQ09' Removable CD-ROM

4,2,0 402) *
4,3,0 403) *
4,4,0 404) *
4,5,0 405) *
4,6,0 406) *
4,7,0 407) *
scsibus14:
14,0,0 1400) 'SONY ' 'DVD+-RW DW-D56A ' 'PDS7' Removable
CD-ROM
14,1,0 1401) *
14,2,0 1402) *
14,3,0 1403) *
14,4,0 1404) *
14,5,0 1405) *
14,6,0 1406) *
14,7,0 1407) *

I thought it was caused due to a faulty drive. However, as you can see,
the new USB drive I got just today gives the same errors. Please advise
a course of action.
