Multimedia :: DVD Burning help needed

I've given up on K3B due to the growisofs issue with it. Tkdvd seems better, but it still doesn't recognize the blank DVD. The error is something to the effect of " unrecognizable media". Looking at the /etc/fstab, the drive is /dev/cdrom1 ..., shouldn't it be /dev/dvd ....?

Interestingly enough, this is a dual boot PC and WinXP can't burn a DVD either. I found a LOT of internet references to XP screwing up your DVD burning. Maybe the drive is flaky?

Can I modify the /etc/fstab in a frugal install? Or force the hardware recognition somehow?
