Um, thanks for the info on dvdrecord, but I really need to know (1) why the program (cdrecord-ProDVD) isn't working and (2) if there is a quick way to remove cdrtools from /usr/local (see below for both).

I put the cdrecord-ProDVD binary and a wrapper in /usr/bin. Unfortunately, again, this makes no difference: =========================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] xcdroast]# cdrecord-ProDVD.sh -atip dev=0,0,0 Cdrecord-ProDVD-Clone 2.01a24 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J�rg Schilling Unlocked features: ProDVD Clone Limited features: This copy of cdrecord is licensed for: private/research/educational_non-commercial_use scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24 Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.

To recap: I am now using the most recent versions of cdrtools (2.01a25), cdrecord-ProDVD (2.01a24 for linux), xcdroast (0.98a15), and dvd+rw-tools (5.16.4.8.5). I upgraded the firmware to 1.04. I can burn DVD+Rs using growisofs, but I get the above error with cdrecord-ProDVD. The kernel module cdrom was constantly sending a message that it couldn't find tracks on the blank DVD+R, so I removed magicdev and the offending KDE Autorun.desktop command. This clears up the kernel message, but doesn't help cdrecord. There are no other kernel errors that I can see. ... Finally, I installed cdrtools in /usr/local before I realized that xcdroast wanted it in /usr. Is there a command to uninstall it from /usr/local, or do I have to do this by hand? Thanks, Tom
