Already tried that. dd complains:

It sounds like it is mounted; try unmounting it,&   then try dd again.

root@transponder:/home/garydale# umount /dev/sr0
umount: /dev/sr0: not mounted
root@transponder:/home/garydale# dd of=/dev/sr0  bs=2048 count=1024
dd: opening `/dev/sr0': Read-only file system


Also,

root@transponder:/home/garydale# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/sr0
mke2fs 1.42.4 (12-Jun-2012)
/dev/sr0 is entire device, not just one partition!

/dev/sr0: Read-only file system while setting up superblock

.....&  it isn't mounted under /dev/cdrom or /dev/dvd ?

No. The umount /dev/sr0 should handle that anyway, but I don't have the other devices on my system. I think it's been pretty much /dev/sr? for optical media for a couple of years now.
