DVD+RW/+R for Linux update
Slightly off-topic in this list context. http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ was updated this weekend. Major news are support for SONY DRU500 unit and improved compatibility control (see new Compatibility caveat lector paragraph on the page in question).

I don't think it's a particularly good GUI, but it does make it possible to pick and arrange songs as I wish. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: DVD+RW/+R for Linux update
From reports I got for Cdrecord-ProDVD, cdrecord does not need an update for the Sony drive, it just works Not when it comes to burning DVD+RW/+R media. cdrecord-ProDVD works only with DVD-RW/-R media. A. But DVD-* media is cheaper and I see no advantage in using DVD+ media. I didn't post the announcement to be dragged into this discussion so I'm not going the comment on this. Cheers.

Why is not enabled by default? Bye. Because it increases the chance of bad CDs. No, I don't know how or=20 why either, but that's what J=F6rg says, and there's no arguing=20 against that. Right, depending on the writer it may create CDs that are not readable anywhere.

It's slow but it works well. I've got gobs and gobs of data spread across many machines, many filled to capacity. It takes me less time and a lot less work to cross mount our aging workstations and burn directly than it does to copy and create iso files, and then burn. Other advantages are the ability to completely fill the disks ( 4 GB iso files are a problem on 32 bit systems) and not needing free space for the disk images. Although its possible to pipe mkisofs output to cdrecord and avoid producing an image, (which I usually do for CDR), buffer underruns are a problem when the files live across on a NFS partition. Of course, YMMV. -- Frank Hage [EMAIL PROTECTED] National Center for Atmospheric Research -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
