I can provide a little help for anyone using one of these internal dvd writers and wodim but I'm not sure it'll be worth it. Wodim is too brain-damaged to even detect the model of LITE-ON DVD I have installed however since it's on /dev/sr0 when wodim is given a pointer to the drive it does detect the drive's presence. A quick way to find what you have and where it is hanging out without wodim is the lsscsi package. As things stand I actually have a LITE-ON coaster burner installed in this machine when wodim gets involved. I think I'll get a friend to switch the LITE-ON drive onto a slackware box and switch the dvd drive on the slackware box into the debian system and see if results change on both machines. Slackware still uses cdrecord so this one ought to be interesting. If the LITE-ON DVD fails in the debian machine, then my going assumption is a manufacturer's defect. I've had opc failures, error 5 sense failures, and one instance of fixating failure with this drive using several manufacturer's DVD's.
