I just finished up a port of Andy Polyakov's excellent dvd+rw-tools
to FreeBSD, and he has incorporated the patches into his release:
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/tools/
(version 5.8.4.4.4)
These tools support DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW format dvd burners,
including the popular Sony 500A (which I just bought myself, hence the
port).
It should work on a wider variety of burners then the half-broken
GNU dvdrecord tools work on (the GNU dvdrecord is a hacked up version
of the original cdrecord). Andy's tool set is based around his
growisofs program which features multi-session recording capabilities.
You also need to have mkisofs installed since growisofs uses it. You
can burn individual files or ISO images with andy's tools.
Someone should build a FreeBSD port for this toolset, there's a gaping
hole in the FreeBSD ports tree where DVD-recording ought to be.
