First, do mount and make sure that the media has not been mounted. If so, unmount it. That *might* be the root cause.
Do you have an /etc/cdrecord.conf? Might have some things like
CDR_DEVICE=2,0,0 cdrom= /dev/hdc -1 -1 burnfree
On 4.x, this last line seems to be the item used for specifying the device. This 4.x has only a CD-RW, not DVD. My 5.x show DVD capability too because I have a DVD burner on that one. An ls -l of /dev/d* should show some symbolic links of hd*. This on my 5.x.
cdrecord -dev=cdrom -prcap
Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 1 Vendor_info : 'CDWRITER' Identifikation : 'IDE5224 ' Revision : '0012' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
Drive capabilities, per MMC-2 page 2A:

Compare the cdrecord.conf against what this shows. It will not include devices like cdrom here. That is a symbolic link to /dev/hdc (in my case).
# cdrecord -scanbus
For me, ...

Do you have an env variable (from bash prompt)
echo $CDR_DEVICE
I'll go over to my 5.X and re-write a 5.1 DVD now.
More after you reply.
