I just wanted to report that it seems to work well on my Plextor
PX-708A drive, which is not listed on your web page. I'm using
firmware version 1.03.

The only really minor problem I've found so far is that the reported
speed values during burning are somewhat too high. When burning a
DVD+RW at 4x speed, the reported speed values vary between 4.5x and
4.8x. At the end, the program correctly reports "average write speed
4.0x" though.

After a quick look at the patch, I think you should divide by 9
instead of 8 here:

@@ -2083,6 +2160,7 @@
 					usleep(wt*1000);
 			}
 #endif
+			if (is_dvdwr) fspeed /= 8;
 			printf(" %5.1fx", fspeed);
 			printf(".");
 			savbytes = (bytes >> 20) << 20;
