General :: Drive Don't Recognize DVD's / Resolve This?

Using Ubuntu 10.10, and a Aopen CD/DVD Drive, that when purchased it was suppose to read and write to everything. But my system will not recognize blank DVD-R or RW.
Everything works on the CD's writing/reading. I can play DVD movies, but thats it.

After many searches I found these posts and checked them out without any problem:

DVD Writer not detecting DVD-Rs

I followed the Medibuntu instructions on http://www.medibuntu.org/
and that did not help either.

I purchased four different purchases of DVDs to make sure the problem was not the disks. I had that happen to me a few time with CDs.

I do not get any errors of any kind. The drive light goes on and off like it should.
