Hi. I'm fairly new to the world of DVD burning. I have a Sony DRU-500A on a system running Red Hat 7.2. Reading the archives of this list, folks have indicated that dvdrtools doesn't work with this drive? I have tried the newest release (0.4.1) and also cdrecord-ProDVD, but am not having any luck in burning a DVD-R. I have had some success burning DVD+RW's and DVD+R's using dvd+rw-tools so the drive seems to be functional and setup correctly. In the future I may just stick with the +R/RW media, but I do have a spindle of K-Hypermedia general use DVD-R's that I would like to be able to use.
Recent versions of dvd+rw-tools support DVD-R and DVD-RW. I use it to write those formats with my DRU-500A and have found it to work quite well. As for the media, I threw away a spindle of K-Hypermedia DVD-R discs after getting many coasters even using the drive on low speed, whereas I have had no trouble at all with TDK, Maxell, or Verbatim media. If you have problems with that media, you may suspect the media instead of the drive. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/ _______________________________________________ Dvdrtools-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dvdrtools-users
