Format and write to a DVD-RW

[Kristoffel]

Hi,

I can not write to a RW/DVD (device HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B). NOT to a 
DVD-R and NOT to a DVD-RW
I have no problem when I write to a CD-R or CD-RW with the same device.

I have tried it with tools as xcdroast and k3b. Both utilities recognize 
my dvd device.

-This is the error in xcdroast:

    Calling: /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap CDRECORDPRODVD dev=
    "/dev/cdrom-hda" gracetime=10 fs=4096k driveropts=burnfree -v
    -useinfo speed=48 -dao -eject -pad -data
    "/install/fedora/FC-6-i386-DVD.iso" ...

    execv error while calling /usr/bin/cdrecord.prodvd (No such file or
    directory)

-And this is the error with k3b:

    growisofs
    -----------------------
    :-( /dev/hda: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 10

    growisofs command:
    -----------------------
    /usr/bin/growisofs -Z /dev/hda=/install/fedora/FC-6-i386-DVD.iso
    -use-the-force-luke=notray -use-the-force-luke=tty -dvd-compat
    -speed=2.4 -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:32m


-When I try to format a DVD-RW with command 'dvd+rw-format /dev/dvd', 
then I get this error:

    * DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by ..., version 6.1.
    :-( mounted media doesn't appear to be DVD±RW or DVD-RAM


-In my fstab:
/dev/dvd                /media/dvd               autofs  ro,user,noauto 0 0
But I have also tried with iso9660 and rw (instead of ro), and without 
this line.

-running 'dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd' with a DVD-RW gives this output:
