I suspect that 01 in 5th position indicates "unit setting," but given
your feedback, it's most likely applies to settings for write-once media
only. Can you see if any of the commands work without media? Or do they
all require some DVD media in unit? What happens if you try to apply
DVD+R command to DVD+RW media? Does unit swallow command or does it
reject it? A.

You have to take some words more literally. In particular "you have to
... generate superblock and directory structure" rather means "*you*
have to write a program, which would generate superblock and directory
structure for you," than "you can do it with program X." The question
might have been what does it take to write such a program. Well, it
takes knowledge of UDF, programming skills and an effort. A.

dvd+rw-tools update [5.18, sudo, 5.19 to be released shortly]

2004-04-02 Thread Andy Polyakov
dvd+rw-tools 5.18.x are available for download at usual location,
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/. Essentially 5.18 doesn't
address any issues, as the code was frozen for a period of quality
assurance test performed by HP. But there is an essential behavior
change in this update, namely growisofs refusing to start if executed
under sudo. Background for this decision is discussed in detail in
manual page.

As 5.18 was frozen for some time and bound to release on
http://www.software.hp.com/, accumulated issues, most notably failure to
verify write speed with Plextor PX-708A and NEC ND-2500, will be
addressed in upcoming 5.19.x, which will be released shortly. In other
words there hardly is a reason for community to upgrade to 5.18, just
wait for 5.19:-) A.

Ok, it seems I was confused. But then, the OS installation is insane.
This is the only reason why there could be such a message.

Thank you for responding, Andy,

   Good point, just that all the "knowledge of UDF, programming skills and 
an effort" have been contributed in "dvdauthor". It generates IFO and so on 
necessaries.

   What above outputs is a full file structure of

VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.BUP
VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_0.IFO
VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB

   Did you mean that all those efforts still not enough to have a junction 
with "growisofs"? All I need is to write VIDEO_TS.IFO in tmp/VIDEO_TS to DVD 
and preserve the directory structure at the same time. Just like "cp 
--parents" can do in a same file system. So, is it less confusing and can 
anyone help?
