cdrecord-dvdhack says,
Sorry, no CD/DVD-Recorder or unsupported CD/DVD-Recorder found on this target.
In case this is because of a failing media check with a blank DVD-R I
try "driver=mmc_mdvd", which changes the message to,
WARNING: Trying to use other driver on known device.
...then dumps me back to the shell.
Even the regular stable Debian cdrecord gives me that "unsupported
CD/DVD-Recorder" problem, but with a CD-R in the tray and with
"driver=mmc_cdr" it instead says,
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags : SWABAUDIO
cdrecord: CD/DVD-Recorder not ready.
so maybe it's a more general problem with that model of drive? Can
anyone get cdrecord or some other Free software to get it to write to
anything other than DVD-RAMs under Linux?

Use mkisofs -udf (options) , pipe the output to dvdrecord.

What is cdrecord-dvdhack? Is this a spinoff of dvdrecord?

cdrecord will not work for recording DVDs. Ever. Try dvdrecord
instead; it's somewhere on nongnu.org , or you can just Google for
it....

Good question. What's dmesg say after you've tried something like
dvdrecord? SCSI errors?

It's a fork of cdrecord. Works for me with a Pioneer DVR-105.
UDF writing is highly experimental. However, I've succeeded in writing large
video files to DVD by firstly using mkisofs to create an iso image, then
burning the image, ie:
mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o myiso.iso sourcedir/
(this will create an iso file called myiso.iso from the contents of the
directory 'sourcedir')
Then:
dvdrecord -dao speed=2 dev=0,0,0 myiso.iso
This burns the file myiso.iso to device 0,0,0 (scsi emulation)
Biggest file to date, 3.8GB without problems, though depending on the media,
you may need the "-force" option.
Works for me, but it isn't a "drag and drop" solution....

It's cdrecord with basic DVD support - I think it's based on Nicolae
Mihalache's DVD-recording patch for cdrecord.

Okay, I've now found and installed dvdrecord. It's giving exactly the
same output as cdrecord-dvdhack did; then again, Joerg Schilling
suggests that it's also based on Nicolae's patch, so maybe they're
pretty much the same program.

None, with or without "driver=mmc_mdvd". Same for trying to burn a
CD-R with or without "driver=mmc_cdr". The only SCSI errors there are
are from when I tried to mount blank media to make sure that nothing
had been burned onto it.

This turns out to not be surprising -
http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/computer/storage/dvdram/prods/specs/d311.htm
doesn't say that the thing can burn CD-Rs! So, it's only the DVD
burning I'll try to chase after.
