Hi David

They're stand alone devices much like a vcr, only using dvd-rw instead of 
tapes. What I'm doing is recording movies with them, then xfering the disks 
to my pc's to convert the formats to the likes of divx/xvid. So in that sense 
ubuntu wont see any drives as they're not part of the pc's

the line re the cdrom drive in fstab is

/dev/cdrom       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

I'm gathering the recorder aint using udf or iso9660?
