I'm not really sure about DVD writing, but if it's anything like
writing a CD, you don't need an fstab entry to write since your
burning software is writing directly to the dvdram device without any
mounting involved.
Here's a few sample fstab entries which should work depending on your
/dev layout.
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvdram auto noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvdram udf noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/dvdram auto noauto,user,ro 0 0
Hope this helps,
Alan
