Can't really be used in a "drag and drop" fashion.

Wasn't DVD-RAM meant to work for that? Did anyone ever use it?

There was/is a packet writing format that can be used, as far back as CD-R i think, but early Windows needed a special driver just to read them. Supposedly Universal Disk Format (UDF, DVD and later) has it baked in. But i can't say i have ever seen it used.
