That's how i perceived it and that's about what i was asking for an echo by the usual experts. I appreciated the clarification. Thanks. About my negligent spreading of the rumor that Restricted Overwrite was a growisofs attribute: I googled for "restricted overwrite". The results on the first page are as follows: 1) a german page refering to Andy Polyakov 2) a japanese (?) page refering to dvd+rw-tools 3) a general DVD explanation on www.roxio.com 4) a question from this mailinglist about dvd+rw-tools 5) a german university talking about growisofs 6) a dutch university talking about dvd+rw-tools 7) http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/-RW/ 8) a german general explanation of DVD technologies So as far as Google voting is concerned, a 75% majority points to Andy Polyakov as foster father of Restricted Overwrite. At least if queried via a german Linux Mozilla. No doubt that this will cause confusion among future archeologists.
