Well /media/hdc should be your mount point (though the designation is a
bit odd) have you checked the permission and existence of this location.

Two things ...

Check /etc/fstab ... send it to list so people have relevant info.

At the cli type...

wodim dev=<device> -atip

where device is the device name (in your case probably /dev/hdc) with a
DVD in...

I believe the -atip switch is not really intended for the purpose of
drive checking but some rather useful info can be gleaned from the output.

(As part of my current project I have been working on a perl module to
drive wodim/growisofs and I have found -atip switch generates rather
more useful info than the -inq and -prcap switches on a drives current
status).
