There are patches at http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/dvd/ to support booktype setting on LG drives. I have not tested whether they work. (although I do have an LG drive and could test, for the moment I've used a windows utility via wine)
I also have a LiteOn drive which is not supported by the dvd+rw-booktype, but which I can modify by a (different) windows utility via wine. Is there some debugging output I could somehow generate to facilitate creating a patch? I'm assuming all that's important is the SCSI/ATAPI commands sent received from the burner - is there some way to dump them?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

I don't think this has been fixed.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Patches from http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/dvd/ were developped for sources dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4 (August 2005), but now we use sources dvd+rw-tools-7.1 (March 2008). Current version contains LG drive, as well as LiteOn, support, but I can't test it. Can you test the current version on your LG and LiteOn drives? The inspiration how to test can be found in bugzilla #220852 (the tool should be able to recognize DVD media well).
Created attachment 474604 [details] patch applicable for the current sources Added patches from http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/dvd/, which are applicable for the current sources, but not tested yet.

[I'm not currently physically present at the location of the drives, so I can't actually insert media, however either way it is not obvious to me whether I should be testing the currently released version of the dvd+rw-tools rpm or something else] (side note: it appears that running 'dvd+rw-booktype -dvd-rom-spec -unit /dev/sr1' on a media-less drive has resulted in the drive going away, and even powering the drive off and on (external drive with remote power) hasn't recovered it)

However, I don't think the patch will work, because there is a very similar LG support in the current version too. What is important for me is the following notice from http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/: "Not all vendors support this and you can't expect this utility to work with all recorders."

Besides gdb, I think "strace wine ./your_utility | grep ioctl" can help, but I don't know any smart utility for that purpose.
