The reason why there are so many duplicates is because this issue is not just related to burning.
Here is a simple run down.

In some configurations :-

Hardy 8.04 LTS will

1) Fail to recognize any DVDs DVD-r etc. and will only read CD-Roms no burning on either CD or DVD

or

2) Fail to recongize only CD-ROMs and Burn to CD-ROMs only. Not DVDs.

or

3) Fail to recognize DVDs but no blanks

or

4) fail to recognize DVD media burned in Gutsy. Yet WinXP sees the DVD and all previous versions of Ubuntu
sees the DVD

In all these cases it does not work in gnome/nautilus nor does it work mounting manually on the command line.
it simply fails to see the media "no media in drive" and nothing no errors in syslog or dmesg.
