I just bought a DVDRW drive today. I have it all set up and everything (it's SCSI, device name=/dev/sr0), but am having problems burning with it.
I'm trying to use cdrecord-prodvd to burn (I use cdrecord to burn all my CD-Rs; cdrecord-prodvd is pretty familiar). I haven't gotten it to burn anything yet, though.
I'm trying to burn a DVD as I type this, but the program is just hanging:

Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 4 in real TAO mode for single session.
Last chance to quit, starting real write 0 seconds. Operation starts.
(I have 'speed=4' because the DVD-R says it can handle up to 4x burn speed)
The actual drive had a little light that flashed when it said "Operation starts;" however, the program (which I renamed 'dvdrecord') gives me no feedback whatsoever.
I've been sitting here for about five minutes now and still have nothing on screen different from what I posted above. I'm hoping that cdrecord-prodvd just doesn't print out anything while burning *crosses fingers*.. although that is a feature of cdrecord that I like.
Any help getting my DVDs burned would be greatly appreciated.
