I'm not sure what is out there for a GUI front end. I would hope 'cdrecord' 
front ends work, but I do not assume this.

If there isn't anything that meets your needs, it's trivial to write a GUI 
front end in Python/Tk (PyGTK, PyQt..) or some other scripting language, that 
launches dvdrecord using appropriate switches.

Making the GUI detect various errors is a bit more work of course :-)
