What Fedora version are you using? The FC3 cdrecord package supports
dvd+/-rw formatting/blanking. You might try installing FC3 versions of
cdrecord, dvd+rw-tools, mkisofs, etc. Hopefully there won't be too many
dependencies. I suggest this because the version displayed below looks
like a pre-FC3 version number. I have blanked/rewritten a number of DVD
+RW discs using FC2 & FC3. And I have not had the need to install the
prodvd version of cdrecord.
