Please note there are no special DVD drivers required for GNU/ Linux for DVD write capability. Make sure your DVD write supports Dual Layer DVD writing and your media is not bad. Is it working in Windoz, i.e. able o write DVDs in Windoze. I also have a DVD writer Sony DVD RW AW-G170A, that is working fine in GNU/ Linux. I am using k3b for DVD authoring but have not tried Dual Layer DVDs as of now.
