called wodim, Write Optical Disk Media, is the fork included on Debian and Red Hat Derivatives, i.e, Fedora
Shouldn't growisofs try to burn dvd's on real cdrecordless Fedora?

There is hope,

Debian agreed on distributing the original cdrtools as soon as possible
On March 6th 2009 at CeBIT, Simon Phipps (Sun Opensurce Evangelist) helped to get an agreement with Debian. There was a meeting between Simon Phipps (Sun), Jörg Jaspert (Debian FTP Master), Jörg Schilling (Cdrtools Author and Maintainer) and a neutral observer, where Jörg Jaspert in a legally binding way agreed on distributing the original cdrtools again for Debian as soon as possible. Jörg Jaspert told us that this would be within three months. We are currently waiting for this promise to become reality. Unfortunately Debian seems to be extremely slow as Debian did not finish this after 6 months.
OpenSuSE started to distribute the original and unmodified cdrtools again on September 6th 2009. This was a result of a discussion with the SuSE legal managers started three weeks before.
Ark Linux started to distribute the original cdrtools again on September 10th 2009. This was an own decision from Ark Linux.

Who knows what is really happening?, Still I don't mind using wodim, but I seriously prefer the original cdrecord.
