Looking to possibly purchase a dvd burner. I/O Magic DVD +-RW/+-R Dual Format 4x DVD ReWritable drive. Number off the box is IDVDRW4DB
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What should this be?
Not all together sure. That's the number on the box. As you might expect it says it will work with Windows XP/2000/ME/98SE.
More info off the box:
interface type: E-ide/ATAPI
It lists a host of different transfer rates for everything from 24x cd-r to 12x dvd.
Writing methods: Disc-at-Once, Track-at-Once, Multi-Session, Packet Writing (variable & fixed).
Supports a number of formats as well.
Comes with: WinDVD, Pinnacle Expression, Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD SE
I figured this info might help determine if this thing should work with cdrecord-prodvd. It may not. :(
Any DVD- writer with correct firmware will do.
No way to determine that without purchasing and trying it out I would guess. Has a good price, so I figured I'd see if it would work before I purchased. Doesn't matter how good the price is if it requires Windows, windows free here...
Is there anyway I can determine the firmware without having the drive installed? Specs from the manufacturer maybe?
I couldn't locate supported hardware info for cdrecord-prodvd. Does anyone know if this drive will work?
Well, starting a few months ago, there is soo much really new hardware that it may be impossible.
Understood. I've looked a number of places, but not found anything that would indicate that any I/O Magic dvd burners are supported.
