dvd+rw-mediainfo works well for this.

Apparently you are the author, and you state that linux kernel > 2.4 causes
problems with cdrecord? How can we overcome this serious deficiency, please?
We're using CentOS 5.4 with kernel 2.6.18-164.6.1, and using the ancient 2.4
kernel or Solaris are not options for us.

Thank you. The errors reported from qdvdauthor are below:

I run cdrecord on CentOS 4. It uses kernel 2.6.9. I have had no problems
with it.

I think the OP's problem is that he is use an older version of cdrecord
(I noticed that the error message starts with 'cdrecord-clone'). It is
either an old version OR the burner software is using a clone of an old
version or something similarly bad.
