Thanks for proving me right, and for the link to a very interesting piece of software. What is cdrecord-ProDVD? If it's just a CLI DVD-recorder, have you tried growisofs from dvd+rw-tools? It is insanely easy to use, and works extremely well. However, I highly recommend you use the latest version (compile from source if necessary), especially if you have a Pioneer drive (as I do). Other drives are extremely likely to work with whatever your current distro version has. Free as in speech... -- Micah J.
