Flashing is over writing the existing data, normaly held in a chip that is read only. There are inherant dangers in doing this.
The data you impose, has to be exactly the correct data for the chip,
When you go for it there can be no half arsed attemps.......power out during a flash op will leave you buggered.
Anyway as far as I know, DVD+/- ram. Is hardware dependant. Whilst flashing can overcome, such things as region coding. I don't think what you are after is possible, without changing the drive.
The answers lie below....
