DVD burning under 5.0

2003-11-05 Thread dave
Bill,


I found your post online when I was doing a search for burning DVD's using
FreeBSD.

We are about to configure an Athlon 2500 box, to use FreeBSD to act as our
web, client and FTP server.

We are going to need the ability to burn DVD's and so I am doing research on
the topic.

Have you have had any success burning DVD's using FreeBSD? Any information
you can share, or web sites you might point us too?

We're looking for all we can find.

Thanks!
Cheers,
Dave

DVD burning under 5.0

2003-04-03 Thread Bill Moran
I'm looking at creating a machine for backing up/archiving other
FreeBSD servers.  One of the requirements will be burning DVDs
(as some archives are 2-3g directories - difficult to break up)

So the question I'm asking is:
Is anyone actually using DVD burning under FreeBSD 5?  If so,
what make/model burner?  Also, how compatible are the resultant
DVDs? (i.e. can I toss one in a Windows XP machine DVD reader
and browse the files?)  Any problems or gotchas?

Looking for success stories and real-world information.  I know the
release notes claim compatibiltiy, but I'm curious as to folks experiences.

Also, I'm aware of the status of 5 as -CURRENT still, and I'm posting
a second email asking for opinions on stability.

Thanks in advance for any information.

-Bill
