If you want GUI, I would suggest you install brasero (yum install brasero). It is a simple CD/DVD burner. It is the default on Ubuntu.<br>Sivaraman.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 16, 2008 at 1:45 AM, Chris Carlson <<a href="mailto:cwcarlson@cox.net">cwcarlson@cox.net</a>> wrote:<br>

The system (an eMachines computer) came with a CD/DVD read/write drive (Optiarc Model: DVD RW AD-7200A Rev: 1.W1). When I load a blank DVD-R in the drive, an icon appears that tells me I've got a blank DVD in the drive. I double-click the icon, and CD/DVD Creator pops up. I drag/drop files into the window and then tell it to "Write to Disc". It thinks for a while, then pops up a little window with the very clear and informative message, "Error!" I can find no information on what the error is or what I can do about it.<br>
<br>
Thinking that the brand of CD/DVD writer was the problem, I installed an older drive that I had from a previous computer (TSSTcorp Model: CD/DVDW TS-H552B Rev: TS02). I get precisely that same results.<br>
<br>
I have also tried installing a blank CD-R. This works somewhat similar but doesn't even provide me an "Error!" popup. I see something pop up quickly and immediately disappear, but nothing seems to be written. I've tried this with both drives as well with identical results.<br>
<br>
After discovering my sound didn't work because of a security setting, I'm wondering if there is some security setting for writing CDs/DVDs. I've modified all my /dev files related to the two drives to rw-rw-rw-, but that doesn't seem to help.<br>
<br>
I put a DVD-RAM disk in the Optiarc drive, and I was able to copy a gob of data to it. It's unreadable by Windows, but it proves to me that the drive writes.<br>
<br>
Both drives can read CDs and DVDs without a problem.<br>
<br>
Below is the info determined by the kernel for the two drives (sr0 is the TSSTcorp drive and sr1 is the Optiarc drive).<br>

Are there any settings or other places I should look for a problem? Is this a Fedora bug? I'll file a bug if I'm not the only one seeing this problem.<br>
