Very fast, simple and cli..

But as almost any new computer is supplied with a dvd drive this nice
program has become quit useless. It does not support those drives.

My question is: will it ever do?

I mean, cd-rom drives are losing terrain with each day passed.
Or will I be "forced" to either buy an oldfashioned cdrom drive in my
new machines? ; or recompile for atapicam ? ; or any other solution?

Maybe I ask for to much. I'm no programmer myself. I have no idea
whatsoever about the code changes needed in burncd to support at least
the burning of CD's. (dvd's are different).


burncd is capable of burning dvd+rw and dvd+r and for this purposes I use it frequently. It is easy to use, part of the OS and, in my opinion, a very powerful tool. But burncd has problems burning and especially __closing__ cd-r, cd-rw (fixate does not work, fixating with cdrecord remains the previously broken media clear and usable after burning with burncd and fixating with cdrecord.
