Ok, I played around with k3b and I can now erase a DVD-RW but I have to uncheck quick format. Here is what happens when I type cdrecord -v in the terminal $ cdrecord -version Cdrecord-yelling-line-to-tell-frontends-to-use-it-like-version 2.01.01a03-dvd Wodim 1.1.10 Copyright (C) 2006 Cdrkit suite contributors Based on works from Joerg Schilling, Copyright (C) 1995-2006, J.

I put the cdrtools-2.01.01 folder on my desktop and typed ~/Desktop/cdrtools-2.01.01$ cdrecord -version Cdrecord-yelling-line-to-tell-frontends-to-use-it-like-version 2.01.01a03-dvd Wodim 1.1.10 Copyright (C) 2006 Cdrkit suite contributors Based on works from Joerg Schilling, Copyright (C) 1995-2006, J. Schilling When looking at k3b my search path for cdrecord points to wodim instead of /usr/bin/record Once the original cdrecord is corrrected, I assume I can use k3b with this original version of cdrecord. I can't do a print screen right now but will try later. -- Can't write or format DVD-RW in Ubuntu Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329096 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
