Yeah. I have a Sony DW-U10A. Got it working with cdrecord-prodvd 2.01a12 Worked with +R and +RW media, but had errors after burning 4 MB of data on the -R media I tried. Though looking at some fourms, this may be a firmware issue, as it aparently has prombelms with -R/-RW media on windows as well... The other issue is that cdrecord-prodvd is non-free. The source is not available, and you need a key to unlock it. The key is free for "private/research/educational_non-commercial_use" but commercial users must pay some amount. - -- PGP/GPG Fingerprint: 3B30 C6BE B1C6 9526 7A90 34E7 11DF 44F3 7217 7BC7 On pgp.mit.edu, import with `gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 72177BC7` Also available at http://www.cal.net/~ryan/ryan_at_mother_dot_com.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ZhSfEd9E83IXe8cRAqOCAKCEXTkdVPyP82O4d0R9P64kINEYcQCfcZ40 g+eECYR1dXE26XbVWxZ8r9Y= =oFoV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
