It does support DVD's, but in my experience it is a bit buggy so I normally 
use cdrecord/growisofs/..

These days you don't need to recompile to get atapicam, it is a loadable 
module.

It would be nice if the Schily SCSI library could support multiple transport 
types at once then you could have a version that could speak to both ATA 
*and* CAM at the same time. (I believe sos wrote patches for Schily lib to 
talk to the ATA subsystem but then you can't use it to talk to SCSI devices)
