IMO at least some of the problems with burning CDs and DVDs on Linux is caused by lack of integration between GUI frontends and burning backends. Showing cdrecord output to the user is just plain lame.<p/>[1] Or did I miss something apart from libburn? I wonder why nobody[1] tries to turn cdrecord/growifofs/whatever into a proper library.

Long since given up trying to get my USB DVD Writer working well on my laptop with a CD-RW drive too. I believe the issue with it detecting the drive/media when plugged on startup is with udev or hal (or both) and I seem the same thing with any plugable media such as USB/FW HDD, Music Players, USB Keys etc. I feel your pain too.

My Notebook has an internal dvd burner and I also own an external DVD burden. They both work like a charm - the usb burnener work whether present while booting or pluged in while running gnome. - There were AFAIK massive changes in udev, hal and g-v-m.

I am the lead developer of GnomeBaker and it would be great if you could help me get to the bottom of why it doesn't work on your system. It's rare that I get feedback from other developers. <p/>GnomeBaker uses growisofs for dvd burning so I'm concerned that it looked like you were getting cdrecord errors.

Haven't heard anything more since then, though. I saw last year that the developer of K3B got funding from LaCie to develop Lightscribe for linux. Haven’t heard anything more since then, though.
