Oh, i do not put in question the convenience to use the burner software via a cdrecord-compatible command line interface. I am actually the proud originator of several cdrecord-like wrappers around other writer software like growisofs or libburn or the Linux kernel's devices. I don't either dispute the inconvenience of Joerg's decision to make the -ProDVD license as it is. If there wasn't growisofs then i would see the license situation as a valid reason for a GPL fork. But up to this morning, when i read Volker's mail, i was not aware of any technical advantage of the patched versions. As Volker describes it, i will hardly ever make own experiments to find out about situations where growisofs fails and one of the patched cdrecords succeeds. Nevertheless, i would be very interested in learning about such situations. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
