*sigh*  not on FreeBSD as well :-(

I have run across this writing DVD's using Fedora Cora and Ubuntu.  Especially,
when the drive is a DVD+/-RW drive.  I've had it writing with -R and come back
the next day and it would only take +R.  Should have guessed since these are
basically the same tools I have tried to use under linux.

This was one of the reasons I used my Mac.

I've gone and gotten some DVD+R and it seems to be doing something (lights are
flashing and growisofs is outputing a lot of info.

Thanks,

Patrick
