Until now I have tried to write TDK DVD+R and Samsung DVD+R I am using dvd+rw-tools 6.1-r1. I have even tried with scsi emulation, but it didn't worked. What should I do to be able to write DVD's on my Gentoo? Thanks
I have managed to write a DVD as a root, but I receve the error I have reported, even though I am in the cdrw group. bigguy@bigguy ~ $ id uid=1000(bigguy) gid=100(users) groups=4(adm),10(wheel),18(audio),19(cdrom),27(v ideo),80(cdrw),85(usb),100(users),408(games),444(plugdev)
what version of cdrtools are you using ? or what do you use to burn dvd's ? Please disable scsi emu because it's deprecated.

I am using app-cdr/dvd+rw-tools, version 6.1-r1.
