Hmmmm, maybe it's my drive. Now, when I put in either of my two DVD+RW
in, the busy light stays on for a while (5 minutes or so), and during
that time I can't get any info on the DVD:

dtessier@hobbes media $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd
INQUIRY:                [OPTORITE][DVD RW DD0203   ][2.30]

After 5 minutes or so, the busy light goes out, but I still can't get
any info:

dtessier@hobbes media $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd

However, my DVD-Rs are detected fine and have never given me any trouble
when burning them.

Sigh... Maybe it's time to look for another drive...
