To complete my question, because I can see you quite dislike those lazy short messages : 1) devices : when you compile ide-scsi module on a brand new 2.6 kernel, you are beeing mocked at because this is old fashion, ide-cd being much more "modern". But when you read the cdrecord, dvd+rx+tools and other help pages, it is said that this is not so good, especially from the performances point of view. And there is the udev settings problem, of course... See what I mean ?
For 2.6 kernels, there are still arguments about error-handling in cd-*reading*, but for normal use just write to /dev/hdc (or whichever) with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y in the kernel config. You may wish to take Schilly's views on linux with a grain of salt. The dvd+rw-tools pages are rather old now, so comments on the kernel in them may be out of date.
2) I tried Xcdroast, but it needs a special (and non free) cdrecord version to burn DVDs... no good.
I was a long-time user of xcdroast, but even I've given it up now - old, apparently unmaintained, tied to an exact version of cdrecord, not appropriate for 2.6 kernels. But the only DVDs I write are data.
