cdrecord currently supports DVD-R/-RW, but (afaik) does not currently support DVD+R/+RW drives. From the CDRecord web site: "Cdrecord supports DVD-R and DVD-RW with all known DVD-writers on all UNIX-like OS and on Win32. "
(http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html) Unfortunately it seems that the +R/+RW format seems to be gaining momentum. Most of the DVD recordable drives I've seen on the shelves of computer stores lately have been +R/+RW format. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Blomquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2003 22:55:30 -0800 Subject: Re: [expert] [OT] Latest on [MDK/Linux in general] support for DVD writers?!?

Apparently all are using proprietary drivers to run them, and while it might be possible to get one to work, it will only be specific for that brand. After a standard comes out, there should be a good number of programs out there to support them.
