DVD-R DL not recognised by growisofs



I have a NEC ND-3520A DVD burner, using firmware 3.05, and growisofs
does not recognise any of my Verbatim DVD-R DL dics as recordable:

   :-( /dev/hdc: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 10015

And under GNOME's Nautilus desktop, it appears with a CD-ROM
icon. However, dvd+rw-mediainfo gives the following information:

Is this simply a case of trying different media, or something specific
to the fact that it's a dual layer disc? DVD+R discs are recognised
without problem.

Thanks,

Jamie
