DVD writter not working and it is corrupting my dvd's.

My dvd burner was working until while ago (before 2 kernel updates, I think), now it doesn't work with all the available dvd burning programs, I tried manually to burn with wodim and nothing.

This is from tovid>

By the way, I tested the dvd burner for hardware errors on Ubuntu and win on another machine, and it worked.

If you can exclude hardware failures, then see

Try a good media, like a Verbatim.

Well actually I tried good media on my machine, the results were good, but they're expensive !
The cheap dvd's were burned on the other machine.

I tried another distro on a live cd with the same libs, drivers
permissions and it burns with Brasero, how come I can't burn cd/dvd's in
ArchLinux.

Here is my debug data:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
dmesg:
warning: `growisofs' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)

Wodim:
gnu_d ~ $ wodim -scanbus
scsibus1:

I made even:
sudo hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr0

Device permissions:
ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-rw---- 1 root optical 11, 0 2008-12-14 14:26 /dev/sr0

ls -l /dev/cdrw0

ls -l /dev/dvd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-12-14 14:26 /dev/dvd0

Few programs tested>

K3B: Well, it almost froze the whole system, I tried to cancel the
burning, but it locked the dvd-burner.
