I know this is slightly off topic, but please forgive me. It's also slightly ON topic.
I've got a Sony DRU-500A drive in an HP-UX 10.20 system, and I'm trying to figure out how to perform data backups with it. I'm quite new at this whole DVD thing. I've gotten past the basic hardware setups; using an IDE-to-SCSI converter, I'm able to get the operating system to see the drive as a SCSI CD drive. I've successfully written a CD-R using it, with dvdrtools (0.1.2). Right now, the only writable DVD media I have are DVD+R and DVD+RW. (I told the department secretary to get me "some of everything", and I was *really* hoping some DVD-R and -RW would be in the batch, but alas they were not -- so I will have to wait to get the -R and -RW media.) As far as I can determine, dvd+rw-tools will not compile on ANYTHING other than Linux. Is there any conceivable way to write to a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc with any free software on a non-Linux system? Or should I go back into my cave and wait another 2-3 weeks for a $10 media order to get processed by the bureaucracy? I absolutely do *not* need any fancy features at this time. If I could just treat the DVD as a round, flat tape and spew a stream of bytes onto it, then read them back, I'd be content. If I could write an ISO 9660 file system with Rock Ridge, I'd be ecstatic. _______________________________________________ Dvdrtools-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dvdrtools-users
