After further investigation I found an alternative CD burning program

Finally I tried to use the CD burning facility built in to

Once upon a time I wrote a tool to simplify multisession backup with
cdrecord. You can find it at http://www.tmr.com/~public and that will
avoid some of the learning curve (it's still command line, though).
Before you do anything else, try "cdrecord -atip dev=/dev/dvd" and see
if you can get access to the device. You can also use "-prcap" in
place of "-atip" just to see if you get data or a "can't find device"
message. My one remaining current FC7 machine is working "just fine"
for burning, I just converted some old Fedora interviews with various
people from ogg to DVD so I can take them with me along with a DVD
player.
OK, I tried "cdrecord -atip /dev/dvd1" with a CD-R in the drive and got
this:

I have only the vaguest idea what that means, but it looks OK to me.
I'll have another go at adding some photos to that disk tomorrow and I
might try your addir utility then.
Thanks for the link.
