Comment 3 for bug 386309

This may be a growisofs bug.

You may like to call cdrecord -atip in order to read out the
media manufacturer.

There is a good chance that cdrecord has no problems to write
to the disk.

Note that ubuntu does not inlcude cdrecord, so you first need
to remove wodim (wodoim does not support DVDs) before you install
cdrecord from:

cdrecord.berlios.de

use a recent source from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
