In Gnome/drives the device is reported as Read Only

The installed sata dvdrw drive is listed in fstab and /dev/sr0 and as type udf,iso9600

I did not make this entry in fstab but I have tried modifiying it from user,noauto to rw,user,noauto which has no effect. I also found entries in /media for cdrom with permissions l777 linked to cdrom0 with permissions d755 which I changed to d777. This change also has had no effect.

So Gnome programs wont write to the device and from a console wodim can't find it because /dev/sr0 is not a designation for a scsi device.

Where did the identification sr0 come from and how can I change it?

Perhaps I don't understand Brasero.  I started a new project, added 26 ogg files totaling 44:18 minutes and pressed burn. Brasero created two files, brasero.bin and brasero.cue, the latter being a text file containing the song titles. I repeated this and this time after pressing burn a window with the option to create an iso image appeared and I clicked on it.  New versions of brasero.bin and brasero.cue were created.  I opened the project listing of ogg files and pressed burn at the bottom.  I got this:

Brasero says Image to Write: "brasero.cue" 469 MB
Disc to Write To: Blank DVD+R Disc: 4.2 GB of Free Space   
Please replace disc with a supported CD or DVD

The drive is a Asus DRW-24B1LT capable of writing on DVD+R/+RW

The result of wodim -checkdrive is attached
