Please add "with my own burner" :)
dvd+rw-tools are, maybe for the moment, the only good tools to burn
DVDs, and they handle *all* DVD media types.  Andy Polyakov (the
dvd+rw-tools author) is doing a fantastic job with his program and is
easily reachable for any issue.  If you have a problem with you burner,
please contact the cdwrite mailing list
(http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/), it will help to improve the
tools and the support under FreeBSD.

I see one big issue with the patch: you will need a new patch with each
new cdrecord version.  And why the author would accept a patch when he
provides a binary-only version of cdrecord-ProDVD?
