Hi John,

Try using:

cdrecord -scanbus

and post the output. It should detect your writer and tell you the bus it is on.

Also, you have to use the SCSI emulation for it by passing the following to the kernel (do this before the scanbus) where (x) is the IDE bus position of the drive:

hd(x)=ide-scsi

Try using XCDRoast as the burning tool. As far as burning DVD movies and stuff, I think you have to create an image of the video first using some special tools (similar to those used for SVCDs, and then burn them. I don't think XCDRoast cares about what you burn and what you burn it to, as long as you have a valid disk image to burn.

Tell us what you find.
