Failed DVD Write

Why do people call problems "issues"?  I've never seen a coherent
explanation for that.

Using a frontend to growisofs, I see.  Never heard of that one.  The
dvd+rw-utils don't have the same wodim problem that cdrecord does,
do they?  I wouldn't think so, but you never know.

If you have another DVD+R, try this from the command line without the
-use-the-force options.

That's the error message, and there's not enough detail to make any
sense out of it.  Does reading from /dev/sr0 work?  Does "cdrecord
-prcap dev=/dev/sr0" return "does write DVD+R"?
