How can I put the Calibre Library folder on DVD and ask my calibre program to use the Calibre Library folder on DVD?

It seems the Calibre program tries to update the metadata.db on the DVD that is set to read-only and shows an error.

Is there any modifications that I should apply on Calibre Portable files to achieve such flexibility?

Your solutions are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Calibre needs a READ-WRITE file system. DVD does not allow random writes in any case.
DVD is a good Backup (snap shot) media for your Library.
