I have the DRX500UL and find your comments helpful. I cannot get packet writing going on this drive and neither dvdrecord or cdrecord -ProDVD (although I am not sure if I tried for DVD-R) worked. Growisofs does work (for both +- media), but I would really like to get udf going for DVD+R, because udf is easier to work with. Have any of you heard if udf for DVD+R is going to happen for Linux?
