Hi!
I just installed a DVD-writer under FC4 und tried to burn a DVD+rw with K3b, but I got the error message: "could not find growisofs executable".

Can anyone explaine to me what´s the problem and what I should do?

Thanks a lot.

Did you install the dvd+rw tools package? Installing a dvd writer does not add this package automatically.

I didn´t know that a special package was needed. I looked around and found this website:
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/#udf

but couldn´t understand anything about it. I downloaded the tool but do not know how to build it (not make or configure file) and the tutorial is totaly confusing.

Can anyone explain to me how to burn a dvd-rw with k3b or indicate me some good online tutorial ?

I´m very surprised not to have found a simple howto about this thema.

You should not have to build this package. It should be included with your cd's i.e. open yast package manager and look for the package in there first.

Oh! i see you said Fedora. Well in that use the package manager that comes with fedora to install the package or use yum.
