amd64 (x86-64) support in cdrecord and cdrtools
Hi Jörg, I just grabbed the latest sources from the ftp server. Seems that support for the x86-64 arch is missing. Any timeline for when this will be added? I'm currently using the Suse patched version (suse 9.1 is the most complete and useable amd64 environment unfortunately) because they came with the distro. But everytime I burn a DVD the process completes, but I am unable to read the media afterwards... I managed to burn 1 dvd with the media supplied by liteon, but that too had errors all over it. (But at least was readable). Any help on the situations of x86_64 support is appreciated.

Sounds more like media problems or hardware problems. What happens with growisofs? Get a -RW or +RW disk and try it out. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.

An 32bit version of cdrecord should work on x86-64 in theory. -Andi
