One of the things I love about my Mac is the access to the *nix command line. Controlling your CD/DVD drive from the GUI is something that may work well on a "real" mac, but on my "hackintosh", some times it doesn't work as expected.
The command to work with the optical drive is drutil :
localhost:log glaw$ drutil --help
Usage: drutil -drive [drive-arguments] command [command-options-and-arguments]
drutil commands are:
atip Displays ATIP information about inserted CD-R/RW media.
bulkerase Bulk erases -RW media in either quick or full mode.
drutil bulkerase (quick | full)
burn Burns a given file or directory to disc.
drutil burn (burn-options) <path>
cdtext Displays CD-Text present on an audio CD.
discinfo Displays disc related info when media is present.
dumpiso Parses ISO-9660 directory structures.
drutil dumpiso <devnode> <block> [format]
dumpudf Parses UDF directory structures.
drutil dumpudf <devnode> <block> [format]
eject Ejects media from the drive (if any).
erase Erases -RW media in either quick or full mode.
drutil erase (quick | full)
filename Translates filenames for different filesystems.
drutil filename <name>
getconfig Displays current and supported device features and profiles.
