I assume a "DVDrRom" is your DVD+R burner. Did you set up the DVDs to be multisession or anything? What happens when you try to read them? What errors do you get? Does the burner read them without a problem.

I use nero burner to burn Fedora Core 4 DVD image. I do not get errors. Any other DVD-roms except the burner i used to burn the DVD can not read the content of the burned DVD. It is running as if the DVD-rom try to access a malfunctional DVD. However, when I put the DVD back to my DVD+R rom , it can read the content of the DVD.

It's maxell DVD+R 8x, how is this?

Usually pretty decent. Have you tried burning at 1x? Also, have you tried any software other than Nero?

oh.. i only tried Nero, it was my first time burning DVD haha.. I only used 8x. What else software out there is good to burn dvds?

K3B can burn data dvds.

With regards to DVD+R/+RW, for better compatibility you might need to enable bitsetting to get some DVD-ROMs to read the discs. Whilst this is possible under Nero for Windows, I don't know about NeroLinux (I have my drive flashed with a modified firmware anyway to force all + discs to use bitsetting by default).
