Hi,
Well here come my experiences :
- cdrecord-prodvd can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/
and is a binary only program. It also needs a environment key to run.
cdrecord-prodvd is based on cdrtools-2.0. This program also support DVD+R(W)
drives and should always work ok. In case of severe problems you should
also try cdrecord-prodvd.
- cdrtools-2.0-dvd.patch.gz is a patch which enables DVD-R(W) support
for/inside cdrtools-2.0.tar.gz. It is opensource and can be downloaded from
ftp://crashrecovery.org/pub/linux/cdrtools/
There's also adjusted RPM's and SRPM's for redhat 7.3, redhat 8.0 and
mandrake 9.1. The benefit is that all features inside cdrtools-2.0
present are to be untouched and keep working error-free.
The cdrtools-2.0-dvd.patch.gz only adds a extra DVD-R(W) driver into
the list of supported drivers , i.e. check with cdrecord driver=help :
mmc_mdvd generic SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver
is added by applying this patch, and has no limitations in speed and udf/iso
size. The downside is that lowering the DVD burning speed doesn't work :
i.e. some-one inserts a 2x DVD-R burning recordable, adding the option
speed=1 won't work. AFAIK only cdrecord-prodvd supports this. The good part
is that all frontends based on cdrtools-2.0 should also work as expected
with cdrtools-2.0-dvd. So indeed i can use e.g. xcdroast to burn DVD-R(W)'s
using a GUI. download is on http://www.xcdroast.org/xcdr098/rpms-a14.html
- dvdrecord / dvdrtools is a fork-off from cdrtools version 1.11a8 .
Its is opensource and can be downloaded from :
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/dvdrtools/
http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/
dvdrecord should also work ok. however its based on a older cdrtools
version which has the downside that certain CD-R(W) parts and drivers
are not really up to date. Hence its use is basicly as dvdrecord, i.e.
burn DVD-R(W)'s with dvdrecord and keep the cdrecord which was already
installed to burn CD-R(W)'s.
- cdrecord-dvdhack is again a patch/hack to add DVD-R(W) support into
cdrtools-2.0. But also here a extra binary is added next to cdrecord.
Its opensource and can be downloaded from :
http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~warly/files/cdrtools/
The patches are against cdrtools-1.11a versions.
Regards,
Robert
