This is really funny......
The oficial cdrecord _does_ support DVD writing.
Why do you like to first hide this feature from your users and then
later add broken DVD "support"?

The GPL does not allow you to use the original name......
This is related to different things (trade mark right).

Note that the name "dvdrecord" is illegal too as this name is "too close"
to the name cdrecord and many people use the name "dvdrecord" for the newer
versions of cdrecord that include DVD writing although I did never mentioned
this name for my software.
