EL> Hello all,
 EL> I am trying to virtualize a dvd-burner (i.e. assign the dvd-burner to
 EL> the guest) through HVM (the guest is Windows).
 EL> The line in the config file says:
 EL>         ''phy:/dev/dvdrw3,hdc:cdrom,r''

It would be
''phy:/dev/dvdrw3,hdc:cdrom,w''

 EL> but on the guest side it appears as a read-only (and not perfectly
 EL> working) device.
 EL> I haven''t tried yet to mark it as ''w'' and I
cannot find documentation

Faster would be to try than to send an email to the list.

 EL> But the question is: is dvd-burner virtualization supported?
