Umm, you can't.  Writing to CD-R or DVD drives is very different than
writing to MO drives.  Even if you change the probe routine in the od
driver to recognize your DVD drive, writing to the drive probably won't
work properly.

I suggest that you try cdrecord, and see if you can write a DVD that way.
You can probably stick a cd9660 filesystem on the DVD.
