How do I burn a UDF FS onto a blank DVD-R with a Panasonic LF-D311?
(It reports itself as a Matshita LF-D310 rev. A113.) It works fine for
CD-ROM and DVD-RAM stuff through my 2.4.18 kernel's SCSI emulation but
even my version 2.0-2 of cdrecord-dvdhack fails, and I'd like to stick
to Free software if possible, avoiding that ProDVD thing.

cdrecord-dvdhack says,

Sorry, no CD/DVD-Recorder or unsupported CD/DVD-Recorder found on this target.

In case this is because of a failing media check with a blank DVD-R I
try "driver=mmc_mdvd", which changes the message to,

WARNING: Trying to use other driver on known device.

...then dumps me back to the shell.

Even the regular stable Debian cdrecord gives me that "unsupported
CD/DVD-Recorder" problem, but with a CD-R in the tray and with
"driver=mmc_cdr" it instead says,

Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags : SWABAUDIO
cdrecord: CD/DVD-Recorder not ready.

so maybe it's a more general problem with that model of drive? Can
anyone get cdrecord or some other Free software to get it to write to
anything other than DVD-RAMs under Linux?
