CentOS - Jun 2008 - Burning DVD with upgrade of cdrtools for cdrecord

I am having problems burning DVD's from commandline. I was wondering if
anyone else has had any luck using cdrecord-2.01 and cdrtools that is
supposed to add DVD support? Thanks!

I thought dvd+rw-tools provided DVD support.

# rpm -q dvd+rw-tools

Do you have this installed?

Regards,

Well, I *think* I used it to burn my current 5.x DVD, but the commands
have fallen off the end of bash history. From memory, I did.

Remember to first format the DVD - this is required. Mine is an IDE
(LiteOn) and I don't recall having to use the GUI provided by Gnome/KDE.

Do keep in mind that the author's notes still claim no DVD support, and
I do recall warning messages spewing that said no support.

If you can't get it working, hollar and I'll try to reconstruct. I need
to anyway because 5.2 will probably appear in a couple of weeks, based
on past performance and CentOS goals.

I also have dvd+rw-tools-7.0-0.el5.3 installed.

I hope all I just said wasn't a bunch oa Alzheimer's-induced FUD!  8-O

Not the tool you asked about but if you have already created the iso file:

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=filename.iso

will do nicely.   

man growisofs and scroll down to the EXAMPLES section for creating the 
iso on the fly.
