The Nautilus based CD burning system does not work for me. In thinking about it I decided the problem might be that my new CDRW devices are 52X but the CD-R disks are rated to write at up to 48X. Could it be that the problems is that interface (unlike xcdroast) does not allow you to adjust the writing speed? What do you think of that problem or do you have another suggested solution? For example the Nautilus CD burning window is really a gui for cdrecord. Is tweaking the config file for cdrecord maybe the answer?

I've certainly come across this problem before. I have some x10 CDRW discs which are not downward happy. If I want to burn to them, I have to use the DVD writer as my CDRW is x8.
Unfortunately, there is no way around this problem that I've found - if you want to use them, you need a drive over and/or above the rating of the discs.

I am confused. My drives are x52 and my CD disks are only good to x48. I am suggesting the reverse is true. That you are in trouble if your drive is rated higher than you disks.

Do you have a copy of Windows on that same machine? The only reason I ask is that it might be worth investigating whether the problem is to do with your drive simply "not liking" your media. I had a problem once burning some CDs under Linux which I thought was software based -- I spent ages trying to track it down. Then, out of curiousity, I rebooted into Windows and tried to burn the CD and it still failed. I then tried the discs in another machine with a different brand drive and it worked fine. So then I thought that there must be something wrong with the CD-RW drive in my machine, but when I tried a different brand of discs everything worked again. It seems that some drives simply don't like certain brands of discs -- now, before I buy and blank CDs in bulk I always try and buy just one first to check it's compatible with my drive.

Again we are having some confusion. I have not problem writing the CD's with xcdroast or with Nero in Windows. In both cases, I can control the writing speed.
Part of my question is whether changing the parameters in cdrecord.conf would help with the Nautilus approach?

I just navigated to an iso image and it gave a screen where you could select the write speed through a pull down menu. It is in nautilus-cd-burner-2.6.0-3 that is available in rawhide (development). Is there a similar pulldown selection box in FC2?

Aaron: Forgive me if I missed a critical part of the thread, but do you get the same response when you use K3B? I'm asking because if K3B is working, and it's simply a front-end for cdrecord, then there may be an issue with Nautilus' cd burning frontend.
