cdrecord does not work with the Panasonic 7501... No support on the
horizon either as Matsushita (Panasonic) are now pushing the 7502...

As for making images mkisofs and mkhybrid are great for making data cds
mkisofs and cdrecord are built into a number of graphical interfaces
too... the one I use is xcdroast... I use mkisofs to build my linux
cds...

Cheers
