Plextor SCSI CDR and cdrecord problem, was RE: Video capture?

[Daryl]

dmesg looks great.  it sees the drive and I can in fact mount the Plextor
CD drive, I just cant write to it using cdrecord.

dmesg

No good information in the system logs

Here is the output from 'cdrecord -scanbus' (as root)

Here is the output from 'cdrecord -scanbus -dev 0,4,0'
(my Plextor is Scsi 0, target 4, lun 0 )

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  This was working at one time
with Mandrake 8.1, but this is a new install ( after a fateful disk crash
)

Thanks
