This is crazy talk!

http://www.cdrkit.org/

   2007/05/06
   Cdrkit 1.1.6 has been released, adding generic drive guessing, OpenBSD
   support and some bugfixes.

   2007/04/21
   Cdrkit 1.1.5 has been released, with genisoimage fix for <<4GiB files
   and internal restructuring.

   2007/04/01
   Cdrkit 1.1.4 has been released, providing some internal fixes. Now
   libusal opens the /dev/srX devices rather than /dev/sgX, where possible.

   . . .

And the changelog for dvdrtools goes from Jan 2002 to Feb 2006.

I'm afraid it is into the bozo bin for you :-(

Sincerely, and sadly,

Chris
