Rewriteable disks are always a very nice way to test and develop distros of various operating systems and for carrying around data if your USB stick is full :-).

I'm pretty sure that the cdrecord included with FD 1.0 had DVD support IIRC. Since cdrkit is based on cdrtools, the code needed to compile for DJGPP was still there, I just wrote some makefiles to compile it because I couldn't get cmake to work for me. And there were some very minor code changes. cdrkit is available under the GPL, and cdrtools is partly available under the CDDL and partly under the GPL (supposedly incompatible to each other - debate over the topic led to cdrkit forking from the last GPL version)... at least the way I understand it. -- Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.

I'd love to test DVD recording as I've always wanted to be able to remaster the FreeDOS disc from within a FreeDOS CDROM itself, and managed to do so except for the cd recording itself (using an old version of cdrecord).

>> points to the 7zip: http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/xgcdrm24.7z > > Would this driver work for recording? on any drive? > > Maybe I am just daydreaming :) No you're not :-). First, I compiled the latest version of cdrtools (the current one is way outdated), which is cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD 2.01.01a58. Then, I discovered that some linux distributions forked cdrtools because of licencing issues, so I decided to try their fork (www.cdrkit.org) and successfully compiled that. Note that genisoimage (mkisofs-equivalent in cdrkit) for some reason requires -allow-limited-size to be able to create any isos (this is a bug). So to test I loaded xgcdrom.sys, then oakaspi.sys (ASPI over ATAPI driver; http://www.wolfgang-brinkmann.de/bcdw/aspi.sys) Then I created a test ISO with genisoimage -J -allow-limited-size -o test.iso testdir... Then I executed wodim test.iso. At the end of recording wodim spit out an error message about not closing the session or something, so I pressed Ctrl-C twice and it ended the wodim execution. I then manually ejected the DVD and re-insterted it. When I did dir d:\, all of the files in the ISO were present, and I was able to successfully read the files on the DVD. So it works, but there are bugs (most likely in cdrkit). Soon I will also test the cdrecord I compiled (I already tested mkisofs, which does not require -allow-limited-size as genisoimage does). Perhaps cdrecord will not require Ctrl-C to end the execution; who knows. Note that I do not know whether the drive I tested on is SATA or not. Perhaps also wodim has options that will cause it to execute correctly. I'll let someone else more familiar with these utilities do the testing :-).
