Patience patience - I'm getting to that ;)
I no longer have access to the drive, but was able to borrow it for a
few hours yesterday.
Firmware upgraded to 2.0 on the drive.
0,0,0 0) 'SONY ' 'DVD RW DRU-500A ' '2.0f' Removable CD-ROM
Connected via ieee1394, the box only has USB1 which works fine with
this drive for everything but writing DVDs. Kernel 2.4.20, SuSE 8.2. I
wanted to know what my options would be for writing DVDs. Due to bad
timing the supply of DVD+RW had run out this week, so I could only test
DVD-RW.
growisofs: complains about "mounted media is not DVD+R(W)". Sorry no
testing this with +RW this time.
I assume cdrecord-ossdvd is identical to dvdrecord, except that it is
based on cdrecord 2. Is this correct Robert? In that case, dvdrecord
should be committed to the attic, and I didn't test it.
With cdrecord-ossdvd, -load, -eject, blank=fast are working fine. -toc
works if the disk has something on it, it gives a scsi error otherwise:

cdrecord-ossdvd: Cannot read TOC/PMA
In some (all?) cases cdrecord-prodvd gives a scsi error too for -toc on
a blank disk.
There are other downsides to cdrecord-ossdvd. -atip doesn't ever seem
to show anything useful. Writing in TAO (i.e. default) mode failed:
Supported modes: PACKET SAO

cdrecord-ossdvd: Drive does not support TAO recording.

This appears to be nonsense, as cdrecord-prodvd says:

I used the binary I compiled myself, starting with the SuSE cdrecord
(patched) source and adding Robert's dvd patch.
Unfortunately, I have to conclude the cdrecord-prodvd seems to be the
only program which can currently be relied upon, although the problem in
-ossdvd seems fixable. There doesn't seem to be much going on with Linux
and dvd development atm though.
