After further investigation I found an alternative CD burning program

Finally I tried to use the CD burning facility built in to Nautilus.
Have you tried "k3b" yet?
Haven't tried that because I run Gnome and I'd rather avoid a mixture of
Gnome and KDE apps if possible. Why Gnome? Mainly because that's what we
use at work and I work from home sometimes. Still, I can try it if
that's the consensus on the list.
Once upon a time I wrote a tool to simplify multisession backup with
cdrecord. You can find it at http://www.tmr.com/~public and that will
avoid some of the learning curve (it's still command line, though).
Before you do anything else, try "cdrecord -atip dev=/dev/dvd" and see
if you can get access to the device. You can also use "-prcap" in place
of "-atip" just to see if you get data or a "can't find device" message.
My one remaining current FC7 machine is working "just fine" for burning,
I just converted some old Fedora interviews with various people from ogg
to DVD so I can take them with me along with a DVD player.
