Problems with writing dvds

I know I used to be able to write dvds from my RedHat system.

I used to use

growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=16 -Z /dev/hdb=Fedora-8-i386-DVD.iso

but I get the error message:

:-( /dev/hdb: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0

I have tried using both  imation dvd-r/16x and
					Memorex dvd+r/16x

cdrecord -v speed=16 dev=/dev/hdb name.iso        - works, so I know
	that the device that I am using is correct.

cdrecord -scanbus
