Yep:

davef at hostname:~$ growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom=image1.iso
:-( /dev/cdrom: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0

 ... actually, it wasn't on the server with a DVD writer, but thanks for the
reminder.  As you can see above, growisofs does seem to recognise the drive
properly, but not the media in it.

Following Andrew Beresford's advice I re-tried dvdrecord using the ide device
name.  It also recognises the device now, but still not the media.  See read
out below.

I suspect the refusal of both apps to recognise the media may actually be a red
herring, since I get exactly the same results with every medium I've tried
(CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW), including RWs that were originally witten by the
same drive on the same machine.

I've yet to travel the cdrdao route, but will try it if no one recognises the
current symptoms.

Best wishes,

Dave
