The most successful method I have found so far is to use the native
ATAPI support in recent versions of cdrecord. Make sure you *don't* have
ide-scsi loaded, just ide-cd.
Then specify:
] cdrecord dev=/dev/dvd speed=16 ... foo.iso
That should warn that "open by devname is unintentional", but work
perfectly. Er, at least, that does for me. :)
