In the questions list Roland Smith suggested that a geli encrypted dvd
could be created by burning the backing file from an geli encrypted md
device as a disk image. 

We were neither able to attach the DVD device though, see:

Does anyone know if this can be made to work?

FWIW I have no problem putting a UFS2 filesystem on a DVD-R without
geli.
