I inserted an empty DVD-R. The drive kept spinning and making
unusual noises, and the system did not recognize the presence of a
disc. Does that mean that it can not write to DVD?

I don't know. All I know is that I have two disks which I can play,
for example on my Windows machine with Windows Media Player, and each
contains a movie of about twenty minutes. Unfortunately, the drive on
my Windows machine can only read, and not write DVDs. When I insert
the disc in my Fedora 7 laptop, it starts Totem, which then complains
it does not have the appropriate plugins to handle the disc.
When I open Fedora menu > Places > MY_DVD, I see two directories
called AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. AUDIO_TS is empty, and VIDEO_TS contains
the files VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO, VIDEO_TS.VOB, VTS_01_0.BUP,
VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, each of which is listed as
having an unknown file type and an unknown modification date.
Take care
Oliver
