I've taken the -pad off, I don't know why I had that option on there. 
I've now tried both memorex (first) and fujifilm (second) dvd-r discs. 
Today I purchased the fuji film discs and at first it kicked the disc
out saying it was an incompatible medium.  But since then I upgraded the
firmware from 1.32 to 1.40 and now it gets here and stops:

tbird libolt # dvdrecord dev=0,0,0 -eject -force -dao speed=2
macgyver.iso
dvdrtools v0.1.3

Also no matter what type of DVD-R I put in now it makes a whining sound
after being in the tray for a few seconds.  On the other hand, as I
mentioned to Mike Morrey it takes my imation CD-RW discs and burns to
them fine.  I guess something with the drive is screwed up and tomorrow
I'll take it back and get a replacement.

Thanks for the help.
