There's a bug somewhere in Fedora affecting recording of DVD+R media. 
It is not related to the brand of media, but rather to the type of 
media.  Specifically, DVD+R media.  All other types (including DVD+RW, 
reportedly) work OK.  Since I got same behaviour with three different 
programs (cdrecord, growisofs, and that gnome GUI thing), it might also 
be kernel related.

If you are having trouble with CD-R media, than it is probably something 
different.
