Shortly before FC6 was released we backed down to an older version of cdrecord because of conflicts between the GPL and the CDDL licenses. Debian also at that point forked cdrecord into cdrkit and other alternatives like libburn exist as well. There seemed at that point to be a concensus that we should stick to cdrecord for FC6 and talk about replacing it for FC7 since we were already far long into the FC6 cycle. Don't change horses in the middle of a stream and all that.
So what is the plan here are we going to stick with an old version of cdrecord or will we be looking for alternatives?

It's been a long time cdrecord was broken into fedora. I think we should move to cdrkit of debian : it based on cdrecord and its licence stands as our. Moreover, I think we can trust Debian for the quality of software development.

What do you mean by saying that cdrecord is broken in Fedora? Do you have bug reports?

No. For burning iso's as in the BZ I use, 'cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:1,1,0 -dao' (burner an media are 52x)
Has the reporter tried this as root? Some hardware, particularly Plextor's can only burn as root.

Yes reporter has tried as root, same result - same exact hardware and media from the same spindel worked fine previously as root and as user.
I'm trying to figure out what update broke this so that a cause might be found.

This is not about an instance of CDrecord being broken. This discussion is about the licensing issues presented by the further use of CDrecord in the distrobution. I agree with what has been previously said, let's try Debian's variant of cdrecord and go with cdrkit as cdrecord's successor.
Thank you

for me it works using plextor 755A (as user and root). (but have not tested with the current kernel release) but for some reason cdrecord -scanbus does not work: Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (cpu-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J�rg Schilling Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original. Note: Please send bug reports or support requests to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla Note: The author of cdrecord should not be bothered with problems in this version. cdrecord: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. (same result as root and user)
