Yes, FreeBSD can burn DVD-R's. Please see
/usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools. This port should work fine with an
ATAPI burner such as your unit, but you may need to rebuild the kernel
with:
device atapicam
The command used is called "growisofs" and invokes "mkisofs" as needed
as a dependency. The manpage includes the following examples:
" To master and burn an ISO9660 volume with Joliet and Rock-Ridge
exten-
sions on a DVD:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/files
To append more data to same DVD:
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files
Make sure to use the same options for both inital burning and
following
sessions. To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to
a DVD:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso
where image.iso represents an arbitrary object in the
filesystem, such
as file, named pipe or device entry. Nothing is growing here
and com-
mand name is not intuitive in this context."
