When writing an 8x DVD using the GUI DVD-writing program on Linux, which I believe uses the cdrecord program underneath, which is a painstakingly sloooow process, if the screensaver kicks in, is the resulting DVD corrupted in any way?
If you're burning DVDs from the commandline, have you tried using growisofs instead? It's supposed to be better and more reliable than cdrecord for DVD burning. Anyway, just like Anuerin, I'm using k3b to burn DVDs (which, BTW, uses growisofs to burn DVDs). No problems burning even with the screen save activating (well, I only use "Blank Screen" for my screen saver) or while watching TV (MythTV). Also, my DVD burner is the only one using the IDE channel it's attached to (master only, no slave) because all my hard drives are on SATA. -- Gideon N.
