        Output

[david at reddwarf ~]$ sudo dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdc
INQUIRY:                [PIONEER ][DVD-RW  DVR-108 ][1.06]
GET [CURRENT] CONFIGURATION:
:-( no media mounted, exiting...

[david at reddwarf ~]$ sudo mount /media/cdrecorder
/dev/hdc: Input/output error
mount: /dev/hdc: can't read superblock

ran your request first with the DVD+RW that I'm trying to blank
(FC3 t3) when I burnt it the md5sum was good but didn't test with
media check as I got FC3 and used that.
