I have now.
It can format or whatever it needs to do to write my dvd-rws.

The last time I use it, it crapped out after writing,
but before finalizing.

How do I get it to finalize?

Also, how do I get it to stop tooting at me?
I thought that I had found the settings flag,
but apparently not.

There are legal ways to get the blood of
some virgins who cannot legally give blood.
That is an ickier subject for other fora.

Sounds like a growisofs problem.

If it was with unformatted DVD-R or DVD-RW media, does it resemble this
error ?
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810483

Any message from the failed program run might help to diagnose the problem.


Have a nice day :)

No message, it just went to 100% CPU and quit responding.

In any case, my immediate task is to get it to finalize the disk.

DVD-R
