+Recording Optical Discs
+=======================
+
+Passthrough recording (a.k.a., "burning") is not supported by Xen. Currently,
+the only options for recording optical discs (e.g., CDs, DVDs, BRDs) in Qubes
+are:
+
+ 1. Use a USB optical drive.
+ 2. Attach a SATA optical drive to a secondary SATA controller, then assign this
+    secondary SATA controller to a VM.
+ 3. Use a SATA optical drive attached to dom0.  
+    (**Caution:** This option may violate the Qubes security model if it entails
+    transferring untrusted data (e.g., an ISO) to dom0 in order to record it on
+    an optical disc.)
