For linux there are basically three backends:

1. cdrecord-ProDVD / cdrtools
   (non-GPL, ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/
   precompiled binaries available for non-commercial use)

2. cdrecord + DVD-patch
   (GPL, http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~warly/files/cdrtools)

3. dvd+-rw-tools / growisofs
   (GPL, http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/)


As for GUIs/frontends, the most popular ones are
- k3b (recommended, www.k3b.org)
- xcdroast (www.xcdroast.org)
- nautilus-cd-burner
I can also recommend
- webCDwriter Pro (non-free: http://joerghaeger.de/webCDwriter/pro.html).
if you share DVD writer in your office with other people.

Most of these frontends use/support the dvd+rw-tools package.

Note that UDF (the 'standard' filesystem for DVDs) is still not
very well supported under linux, so most DVD burn apps use
the iso9660 filesystem instead (but that should not matter,
unless you want to burn movie-DVDs).
