Sadly, this still affects me..

I have the LG USB DVD drive, model LGPC-ODD

dmesg reports it like this:

usb-storage: device found at 5
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
usb-storage: device scan complete
scsi 8:0:0:0: CD-ROM HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N WH01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 5

Reads, writes CD disks OK
Does not read or write any DVD, does not recognise blank DVD Media

The drive works fine when I plug it into my friends Fedora system

I'm using lucid, with all latest updates:

2.6.32-27-generic, udev 151-12.3

I downgraded udev to 151-12, still does not work.

I am also sure this drive was working for me before, but It's been a while since I burned a DVD

When I insert the media, the drive sounds like it's trying to read the disk, and it repeats the same pattern of sounds over and over.

I've attached the output of the cdrom_id command and tried all the other suggestions in this thread.
