You're welcome. A very minor contribution back to the community.

Yeah, there's a note in the comments within the script that this needs to be
set for whatever drive your burner is. That's what mine is, just because it's
the first device on the second ide bus.
If anyone knows a way to make this more generic, I'd be happy to apply the
change.

Yeah, I was curious about those numbers, since the options are undocumented
(at least in the man page). I thought they might need to change for each disk
image. But I burnt three different images each of a different size, and they
all seemed to work. So it's not clear to me when these numbers would need to
change.

I didn't notice this link previously. Sometimes I don't get a chance to read
my email for a couple of days, then have to very quickly scan several hundred
messages, so I probably scanned right over it. I'll check it out.
I added another line to the script, making it version 0.2:
eject ${DVDDEV}
This makes it eject the disk when burning is done, providing a convenient
feedback that it's done, similar to K3b (though this seems to be broken for
DVDs in K3b; it only works for me with CDs).
Thanks for the feedback.
