dvdrecord doesn't work with DVD+RW (or +R) media and doesn't work with the Sony DRU500A drive. However, dvd+rw-tools, in spite of its name, works well on the Sony with all four types of supported media. It's the only DVD burning software you need for this drive. You can find more information at this link: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ Some versions of cdrecord-ProDVD work with the Sony drive, but it is non-free and only supports DVD-R/-RW media, not +R/+RW. As far as I know, dvd+rw-tools is Linux-only and cdrecord-ProDVD is multiplatform, but if you are using Linux, there's no real reason to even look at cdrecord-ProDVD for the Sony drive. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/ _______________________________________________ Dvdrtools-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dvdrtools-users
