As root - cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc -dao -pad -speed=4 -v /path/to/dvd.iso -=- Without -pad - they still burn and install OK but fail media check. Without -dao - cdrecord complains (maybe just my burner model) and exits. -dev=/dev/hdc is the path to my DVD burner. I don't remember exactly model (I could find out) - but it is a basic Sony 8x4x32 DVD+/-RW I never use DVD-RW - I only use DVD-R. It is suppose to be able to burn at 8x but it only seems to work at 4x for me.
