I upgraded to hardy recently. I have burned rewritable dvd-rw's for my dvd/avi player successfully with growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom -J -R temp.avi
I had troubles yesterday. I rollbacked growisofs to feisty and then to edgy which uses a different underlying command. The new one is a front end for genisoimage, the one for edgy was a front end for mkisofs. The roll back did not help. I thought about rolling back mkisofs but this would require me to roll back ubuntu-desktop, so I didn't. Today after getting rid of the roll backs, everything worked. I did not keep the print outs from when it failed but going up through my command history I notice that I was using the command: growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom1 -J -R temp.avi Some how did dvd was mounted as cdrom1 instead of cdrom. I generally use tab completion for this and thought it was an oddity of hardy that the dvd mounts differently. Yesterday I also tried to burn with gnome bake and k3b without success after failing the command line method. Today I only tried the command line method with success. I hope my two cents helps.
