Oooh, an HP 200j... Hm, I can't find the 'j' on their website, but they
list the 200i. Are you aware that there are at least two DVD rw
formats, DVD+RW and DBD-RW? The 100i and 200i are +RW drives, and
you'll need DVD+RW media for them. Maybe that is the problem?
If you do have a DVD+RW drive, then writing data is a little different
for DVDs. After loading the ide-scsi support (which it looks like you
did already, since you tried CD-Rs) you'll need some dvd tools.
I've done some minimal writing of directories to DVD+RW, and needed to
first format with:
dvd_form /dev/hdc (or /dev/scd0)
Once you do that, you can add the first directory or files with:
growisofs -R -J -Z /dev/scd0 /some/files
To append additional directories or files, you then use:
growisofs -R -J -M /dev/scd0 /other/files
The first 'growisofs' command can be used to re-write a dvd+rw starting
at the beginning.
Check out http://www.dvdplusrw.org/ for all the detail.
