Just curious... have you tried starting your burning apps from within a terminal to see if you could get a more detailed error message?

What happens if you try burning your DVD directly from the command line? Any error messages?

Here's a good HowTo with instructions for doing so:

when i tried to burn DVD RW using K3B or gnomebaker i got the following error

attempt to re-run with -dvd-compat -dvd-compat to engage DAO or apply full blanking procedure
Write error


then i tried using the following command

cdrecord -format dev=/dev/hdc speed=4 gracetime=2

i got the following as output

[simran@localhost ~]$ sudo cdrecord -format dev=/dev/hdc speed=4 gracetime=2

For possible targets try 'wodim --devices' or 'wodim -scanbus'.
For possible transport specifiers try 'wodim dev=help'.
For IDE/ATAPI devices configuration, see the file README.ATAPI.setup from
the wodim documentation.

next i tried

wodim --devices
and got the output

[simran@localhost ~]$ wodim --devices
wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) :

and then

[simran@localhost ~]$ wodim -scanbus
