See 'man growisofs'.

Typical of the computing industry not to be able to standardise ;) The jury is still out on which is the best. If you're desparate for a DVD writer now, probably your best bet is to get a drive which can write to both standards. There are some Sony drives that can do this, which I've seen recommended, amongst others. - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/u06oF8Iu1zN5WiwRAho9AJ4vIwc7gog4+PF64mNNfiyewgzaJQCgj9Kw i3ag8o/1AcZ7Lqib5CbDJog= =Epc7 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What does the plus and minus signs indicate? On the Sony DRU-510, DVD+R writes at 4X, and DVD-R at only 2X. Other than that, I'm not sure--ISTR reading that DVD-R may be a better choice if you are making DVDs for video playback. 2) I've saved some old mailing list entries that indicate the Sony DRU500A comes recommended by the people answering the list. The one in the ad is a Sony DRU-510A. From the model number, I'm concluding this is in the same drive family. Has anybody had any experience with the DRU-510A? I've used a couple (internal IDE), but only for data backup. Ugly drive, but works fine. 8-) /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools is the port to install for data recording. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
