I installed Ubuntu Gutsy. I correctly read my DVD_RAM but I cannot write

Suggestions?

Remount it read/write then! :p

Presuming that the device for your DVD-RAM is */dev/sr0* and the mountpoint
is */mnt/dvd* - check your */etc/fstab* and/or */etc/mtab* for the correct
device if you're not sure - issue a command such as the following...:

sudo "mount -o remount,rw /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvd

For future use, you may want to edit */etc/fstab* and replace the /ro/
by /rw/ in the record for that device.

I would also strongly recommend the following reading - in a console window:

man mount

.... and...

man fstab

UNIX is not user-unfriendly. It just expects the user to be a little more
computer-friendly. <grin>
