I've used an Optiarc to burn all that in Linux, some with cdrecord some with NeroLinux. Optiarc is a joint NEC/Sony company. DVD drives/burners are commodity these days with standard interfaces.
not many support dvd-ram, however, which was buried in his list.
But the Optiarchs that supports Lightscribe also supports DVD-RAM. So the NEC AD-5170 does not support DVD-RAM, but the NEC AD-7173 does.
My point was more that you just find a DVD-burner with the specs you need and it should work. I have used Plextor, Sony, NEC and Optiarc over the last year or so and I have not detected any functional differences in use in linux, apart from the different feature sets and speeds.

The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
