Hi all, I'm having some trouble trying to record DVDs -RW and +RW. CDs
get burned OK, but not DVDs. All this on a FC3 system.

Here's the info:

What do you get from:

dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdc

# dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdc
INQUIRY:                [SONY    ][DVD RW DW-G120A ][MYS1]
GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION:
 Mounted Media:         1Ah, DVD+RW
 Media ID:              OPTODISC/OP4

Here is the problem.

According the media guide on digitalfaq.com, OPTODISC is "4th class media". They describe 4th class as "Pathetic garbage media, landfill material, about 0-50% success rate".

you need to find a better supply of DVD media.
