You cannot treat a CD/DVD drive as a notmal read-write filesystem,
because you can't re-write the blocks that describe the file system on
the fly. You can *erase* the file system on the DVD and start over, and
there seem to be some funky CD/DVD tools that extend the file system by
tacking stuff on the end, but I've never found those to work very well.
