I previously had this PX-712A DVD-RW in a CentOS 5.3 machine, and burned
a DVD ISO to a DVD+R disk, so I know it worked. A new machine was built
with that DVD image, "yum upgrade"d to CentOS 5.4 and then the PX-712A
was transplanted to the new machine. Now it doesn't write, and I would be
grateful for your help in discovering why.
Failures occur with dvdauthor and webmin. Webmin doesn't recognize the
drive as writable (burnable). dvdauthor fails in the cdrecord command.
Current diagnostics include:

Really? Including ...

So maybe not so exact, but still doesn't work, eh? Check that
/dev/cdrom exists. Or specify dev=/dev/whatever as part of the command.
BTW, does a list of non-pcm/non-wav filenames (you're feeding it a list
of mpgs) really work as anything? Usually you feed it wavs (for CD
audio) or an iso (for data). |

cdrecord was made to write to CDs. Try growisofs instead.

Does it really have support for DVD+R?
Quote: Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original.
If you prefer a point and click interface you might want to try k3b. That
program will call cdrecord and growisofs for you.

Some boards have an added jmicron controller for the ide interface which
could not work with linux. What is your new hardware? |

Not correct, let me corect for you:
growisofs was made to write DVD+RW, cdrecord was made to write any kind of
optical media with 12cm diameter.
In case you don't know, cdrecord writes DVDs since February 1998.
Just look at the original sources:

cdrecord supports them of course, iteven supports media in heart shape ;-)
Be careful to use the original cdrecord as "wodim" does not retrieve media
information for DVDs (it ripped of the working DVD support from cdrecord
and replaced it by something half baken).

I run cdrecord on CentOS 4. It uses kernel 2.6.9. I have had no problems
