Hi,
I am using slackware linux 9.1 on P3 machine. I have LG DVD writer
capable of writing DVD+R disks. I am trying to backup my data (~4GB)
on it using xcdroast as front end. I am using cdrecord.prodvd as
backend. The problem I am facing is that I am unable to backup the
data as there seems to be a maximum limit of 1GB of write data for
cdrecord. I don't have any key for cdrecord.prodvd either. I am using
xcdroast version 0.98alpha15 and cdrtools version 2.01.01.
Could somebody please suggest me:
1. How can I make cdrecord work with 4GB data?
2. Is there any alternate software for linux which will allow me to
back up full 4GB worth of data?
Thanks,
Atul.
AFAIK, cdrecord does not work for burning DVDs. You need to try
'growisofs' program. It comes with dvdrwtools(?) package.
Following the rpm:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/2301189/com/dvd+rw-
tools-5.21.4.10.8-0.pm.0.i586.rpm.html
For slack:

slackware_source/ap/dvd+rw-tools/
Disclaimer: I have not tested whether rpm/source works properly.
