I know, but I have heard DVDRAM was faster when used with the pktcdvd 
module... and one other thing, when I do

 mount -t udf -o rw,noatime /dev/sr1 /mnt/dvdram

the media is mounted readonly... after that I always have to issue

mount -o remount /mnt/dvdram

in order to finally get rw access to the drive. I guess this is an 
annoying bug somewhere? So this is why i use pktcdvd. Is there a 
workaround for this rw-access issue when not using pktcdvd?
