I would have to agree that MOST users of DVD-RW drives are commercial at the moment, but given Apple ships the DVR-A03 in a number of their machines, and that the drive itself is available for $919 CDN around here, which is only about twice the cost of a good CD-RW drive, I think a lot of people will start to use them privately soon. Of course most of those people will to running windows and use whatever software the drive comes with. I have tried the test binaries you released a couple of days ago with the DVR-A03 we have here, and well it seems the software works, but that I should move the drive to a faster machine. It never really makes it past about 70MB before the FIFO hits empty. I guess a P2 450 with a 9G IBM SCSI drive just isn't fast enough to keep up. Also what is the license on the full version of cdrecord-ProDVD. I have seen mentions in the few places I have managed to find a reference to it, of $100US for it. Is that for use on one machine, multiple machines at one site, or how are you doing it? I suspect a number of people are interested in knowing what they get if they pay for it (other than a version of what we have seen a few days ago, without the 1G limit of course). Have you considered adding a link to the cdrecord home page to a page that just has basic information about cdrecord-ProDVD? It seems many people have looked and failed to find information about it, just the occasional reference to it or rumour about it on the occasional mailing list archive.
