If you get udftools from the universe repository you can format a
rewritable DVD with a udf 2.x packet writing filesystem. Then ubuntu can
use it like a normal writeable filesystem. There is one problem I
haven't sorted yet on my system which is that the desktop doesn't
recognise that the device has been inserted and mounted successfully, so
currently, it looks like you have to go to:

1) Create a udf filesystem using "sudo mkudffs --media-type=xxx /dev/hdc"
2) Unmount the filesystem using "sudo umount /media/cdrom0"
3) mount the filesystem using "sudo mount -tudf
-orw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0"
4) go to "Places -> Computer -> Filesystem -> media -> cdrom0" to get to it.

Replace /media/cdrom0 for whichever mount point it should be. Replace
/dev/hdc for whichever device node it is. Replace xxx for whichever
media type it is: hd (hard disk), dvd, dvdram, worm (write-once read
many, eg DVD-R, CD-R), mo (Megneto-Optical), cdrw.

I'm hoping that this will be better integrated in Dapper (I've been
working on a spec - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopVolumeManagement - I
must do some more work on it).
