Description of problem: Using cdrecord (cdrecord-2.01.1-5) on a "SONY DVD RW DRU-830A" (external USB drive) with DVD-R media burns the disk but hangs for 15 minutes (until the 1000 second timeout) when it's "fixating" the disk. Fixating works fine with CD-R media.

Please try growisofs from dvd+rw-tools. This will show us, if your drive supports standard MMC commands.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. As this bug has been in NEEDINFO for an extended period of time we are going to close this bug due to inactivity. If you would like to persue this matter feel free to reopen this bug and attach the needed information. With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates for currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases are to enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical defects. However, Red Hat will further review this request for potential inclusion in future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
