I used my own creation that at some point could replace burncd, but for 
now it is just a skunkworks project (and no I wont hand out copies :) )

I would think that growisofs will work (I do have an ATA version of that 
somewhere IIRC).

Burncd support DVD+R to some extent, depends on burner doing what I 
think it should. But as you might infer from the above I'm thinking of 
changing that :)
