Burning DVD's (photo's and .iso's)

[David Nedrow]

Mel,

I take it you're having problems? If so, what is the issue?

One thing to note is that Fedora defaults to enabling DMA for all 
drives. I've found this to basically make it impossible for me to burn 
anything, CD-R/W or DVD-R/W.

To disable DMA permanently for my DVD burner, I simply copied 
/etc/harddisks to /etc/harddiskhdb (where hdb is the device node for my 
burner) and set USE_DMA=0. This file generally only gets consulted at 
bootup.

To change drive settings on the fly, use hdparm.
