burncd(8) wrote a DVD+RW for me but would not write more than one byte 
to a DVD-R. Considering it wrote a DVD+RW I expect it will do CD-R's. 
Cdrecord doesn't seem accept the free key for burning DVD's, I've 
written asking for one which matches "i386-unknown-freebsd5.3" rather 
than just "i386-unknown-freebsd".

I too have the atapicam device installed in the kernel:

acd0: DVDR <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S/BS0K> at ata1-master UDMA33
...
cd0: <LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S BS0K> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device

growisofs(1m) is happy with the above as /dev/cd0 when writing to a 
DVD-R. Odd that one only needs read-only access to the device to be 
able to write to it.
