I have been trying to burn a dvd iso in mandrake 10.1. First I tried K3B; when I realised it was running growisofs I tried that directly; when I realised that was running cdrecord I tried that directly. Failures all. However I did have dvd burning at some point, but I have no idea what has changed. I have been trying out differnt software (using urpmi to install) and though maybe something was conflicting (I am new to Linux and this was always a possibity in Windows), but I reinstalled the installation and that hasn't seemed to help, though all the necesary software is installed.
Here is my trying to burn a dvd iso with cdrecord:

Right. I have an iso and already tried a growisofs command line similar to what you suggest. When that failed I tried:
cdrecord -v dev=ATA:1,0,0 driveropts=burnfree -dao dd.iso
which, if I understand it correctly, is essentially the same thing. The result it in my original post.
