  Cdrecord is supposed to be able to burn DVDs, and I was able to use it 
for this until recently.  If it was possible for me to get the desired 
padding using growisofs, I'd be happy with it.  There was some kind of 
licensing incompatibility involving cdrecord a while back, so I believe 
a fork was necessary.  I don't know if the FC6 version of cdrecord is 
before or after the fork, but that might be relevant.
