From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051201 Fedora/1.5-1.1.fc4.nr Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: Blank DVD-R dual layer discs are not detected correctly. When inserted, a CD icon appears on the desktop, as opposed to the expected "blank DVD" icon. K3B and Nautilus-CD-Burner do not detect the full size of the discs. Nero Linux does detect the correct size, though discs burnt with it, while readable in Windows, are not readable in Linux. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert blank DVD-R disc 2. 3. Actual Results: Disc is detected as CD - CD icon appears on desktop. Expected Results: Disc should have been detected as a blank DVD. Additional info: This does not appear to be restricted to particular brands - I have tried several. The drive is an NEC ND-3540, in a Shuttle SN41G2.

I thought this as well and then last night I came across the obvious. The default setting for the media graph is set to 4.4GB, not From Media. If you right click on the bar, you will get a drop down menu, change it to From Media and you will be set. Hope this helps.
That's a great tip, thanks, but now I get a different error: media is not recognized as a recordable DVD: 10015
The latest on this is that DVD+R DL discs are detected correctly on an up to date FC5 system - not sure about DVD-R yet.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Yes, that box is now running FC6 and the problem still applies.
In other words, a "CD-ROM disc" icon appears on the desktop when a blank DVD-R dual layer disc is inserted.
still a problem with dvd+rw-7.0 ??
Yes. I've upgraded the box to F7 and the CD icon appears. However, k3b seems to detect the size of a blank DL disc correctly.
I should have clarified - the output from dvd+rw-mediainfo is now correct, but GNOME doesn't show the correct icon. Does that need to be reported separately?
