Best way to write DVD+R?
Hello,
till today I have never tried to write + media on my writer...
I have one media now:

I thought that had been fixed, I would swear that cdrecord uses DMA with
ATAPI and 2.6 kernels. Now I have to go back and check, I replaced the
CD-R drive with an unsupported DVD unit which doesn't work with anything.

This is the general problem with Linux :-( They invent a new incompatible interface every even year If you have problems, ask the Linux kernel people. How would the kernel people know what your software does. to restate, cdrecord seems to use DMA with 2.6, write audio very fast with little or no CPU use. Does pro-dvd also use DMA? That's a yes/no question, although any clarification would be useful. -- E.

I thought that had been fixed, I would swear that cdrecord uses DMA with ATAPI and 2.6 kernels. Now I have to go back and check, I replaced the CD-R drive with an unsupported DVD unit which doesn't work with anything. I'm a bit confused myself. The documentation isn't too clear about the difference between dev=ATA and dev=ATAPI. I tend to use dev=ATA with linux 2.6. This is the general problem with Linux :-( They invent a new incompatible interface every even year If you have problems, ask the Linux kernel people. How would the kernel people know what your software does. to restate, cdrecord seems to use DMA with 2.6, write audio very fast with little or no CPU use. Does pro-dvd also use DMA? That's a yes/no question, although any clarification would be useful. -- E. Robert Bogusta It seemed like a good idea at the time
