DVD burner in WINE

[jbrown96]

I have a program, ProShow Producer, that works flawlessly in WINE, but I need to use a DVD burner in it. The program will only export the DVD slideshows to a disc, not an image, so I need to be able to use the burner or somehow fake it and save to an image. Does anyone know how I can either get the burner working or (ideally) fake the burner and create an image instead??

Thanks so much for the help.

Burner should work fine in git, if you've got permissions to the raw
dvd device. Can you burn under your OS? Is the drive configured in
winecfg?

Thanks for the reply Austin. The drive does work in Fedora. I guess I do not understand how to add the drive in winecfg. What am I adding? the cdrom device? Could you please give me some instructions on how to add it? Do I need to run the program as root or provide it with special permissions?

The device is /dev/cdrom

No, don't run as root. Run winecfg and choose 'Drives', then use
Autodetect. You may need to set the type to cd-drive and/or symlink
the device in ~/.wine/dos_devices.
