There's nothing wrong with using /opt. However, it's mostly used for
largish third-party stuff, and cdrecord wouldn't qualify. Having /opt
in addition to /usr/local means one more entry to search in your
${PATH} but that's hardly asking a lot. On the other hand, I haven't
used /opt for anything in quite a while -- although when I did an
install (of Mandrake) some years ago, I allocated some space for /opt,
figuring I would make use for it. Eventually, it got used for
something else.
