If you're not using SUSE software, please contact xcdroast or Mr. Schilling with such questions
You know, I have always appreciated your excellent help to this list. This is uncalled for. If xcdroast would write a DVD, then I would not have asked. So, let's assume that I have a SuSE 10.0 installation and I chose "Gnome" during installation and all went well--no errors.
In xcdroast (running as root since it was not compiled with non-root support) from the SuSE 10 DVD, in Create Cd>>Master Tracks>>Create session/image where I am supposed to be able to choose DVD as a Disc Type, there is no such choice--only various sizes of CDs.
Therefore, I am using software from SuSE and it doesn't work AND "I (obviously) DO need it", or something similar, to make it work.
I've used cdrecord on several distros (including S10) to burn CDs without problems (except for Belkin RW which seem alwasy troublesom), and growisofs to burn DVDs. So far as I can tell, many others have managed these feats too, so probably the software works. If you have some particular difficulties with those programs, then this is a good forum to discuss those problems. OTOH, if you need to ask questions about ProDVD, then pay for it and use the support you bought. Generally, I favour buying commercial software if it provides extra features you need, if the non-commercial software is too bug-ridden to be useful. Howerver, I think the latter doesn't applly to cdrecord or growisofs.
