 I do not particularly care for the self-advertisement of Joerg for his
 own software, but at least the last sentence is not true. On FreeBSD,
 exposing ATAPI devices as SCSI is just a choice that the user is free to
 make (or not). The use of the atapicam module or kernel option is just
 that, entirely optional. Also, atapicam may have at least as many
 problems with particular hardware/software combinations as burncd, so
 YMMV. I for one use burncd and I am perfectly happy with it. 
 
 Note: One other reason people used to prefer "cdrecord" was that it was
 a standard staple on linux, and so a lot of pretty GUI frontends were
 written for it that do little more than call cdrecord with the correct
 arguments.  For me, this is not important, burning from the command line
 just works(TM).
