For some backups at work, I'm thinking of getting a DVD burner. I was
looking at the Sony dru500a, since its compatible with all the various
dvd media out there. Has anyone had any luck/experience with this drive
(or any dvd burner)?
I have the Sony DRU500a drive (internal IDE version). It works well:
$ mkisofs -r -o dvd.iso /some/large/tree/no/bigger/than/4.4g

$ burncd -F -f /dev/acd0 format dvd+rw
$ burncd -f /dev/acd0 dvdrw dvd.iso
You might need to be root for those burncd commands; I'm not sure.
I think there's a cdrecord look-alike called dvdrecord, but I have no
experience with it. I'm not sure what the commands look like if you're
using DVD-R or DVD+R, but I assume something like `burncd -f /dev/acd0
data dvd.iso fixate' would work.
What version of FreeBSD does this work in? Do I need 5.0 or will the
latest 4.X work?
