RE: [SLE] DVD burning
DVD burning is a crime on linux... First of all there is the *BIG* difference in DVD+R(W) and DVD-R(W). Although it seems that the '+' variant becomes the standard, there are many DVD-R(w) drives available. Secondly, the author of cdrecord has decided that he wants to make money on DVD burning. Therefore, it is not possible to write a completely used DVD with cdrecord. In the mean while there is a spin-off of cdrecord called dvdrecord, but it is a 0.1 version. Development goes very slowly, and it has a numerous amount of bugs. I tried to get it work with the latest DVD+RW drive from Philips, but no succes. This is a linux issue, on winblows it works fine. Finally I bought a Pioneer DVD-RW drive and got it working with dvdrecord. So, yes you can get it to work. But no, don't expect a well supported set of tools for it... Regards Harry

I don't agree that burning DVD is pain in the a**. I have a HP DVD+RW 200i and I use dvd+rw tools to burn images prepared with k3b (mkisofs) and it works absolutely fabulous . -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Aleksandar Topuzovic System & network administrator

As far as you know, would he external 200e work fine under linux as well? would you use the usb2 or the firewire port? Agus

They should probably work, as far as I can see the dvd+rw tools just do dd if=image.iso of=/dev/scd0 and before that some controls to the device (setting parameters and so.) -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Aleksandar Topuzovic System & network administrator

My Ricoh DVD+R/RW (MP5125A) works absolutely fine with the dvdrecord tools, even if the procedure is somewhat arcane. I get a full 4.7G on the +RW media and updating/rewriting is no problem. GUI tools, on the other hand are SFAIK non-existant. Dylan -- "Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not We are between the wars" Billy Bragg

dvd+rw tools and dvdrecord work fine with a Sony DRU500A. No problems to write DVD+R(W) and DVD-R(W). Ralf -- Ralf Haueisen ralf.haueisen@pi.uka.de df1iaz@darc.de http://www.qsl.net/df1iaz
