Fedora 22 WS live i686 fails

[Patrick Dupre]

Yes it is an issue between burners.

I cannot switch from one (burning) and another one (read)!!!
The reason that I a doing that is the network, good compare with bad!
Even if the DVD is checked, it does not mean that it is going to work!

> dvd's not being from reputable maker can also cause problems.
Philips, Imation, Sony?

> when buying a new burner, remember you want dvd-r to match dvd-r blanks
What does it mean?

Thank
