DVD-ROMs can be burned in ISO-9660 format as well as UDF.  While a UDF
DVD-ROM definitely won't work, maybe an ISO-9660 or hybrid ISO/UDF DVD-ROM
would work.  (An even stranger beast would be a DVD-ROM with HFS or even
ProDOS filesystems on it...you can do this with CD-ROM easily enough, and as
far as burning software goes, a DVD-R isn't much more than a really large
CD-R.)

Testing this would require a SCSI DVD-ROM drive, though...all of the DVD-ROM
drives I have are IDE.
