I'd like to ask which program is the proper tool to copy a DVD(+|-)R 1:1 to another media of the same kind? It would be great if the program would have a good error tolerance for slightly defective media (which is a usual problem with cheap DVDs). I've always used cdrdao read-cd and afterwards cdrdao write for CD-R, but I cannot use this tool for DVDs, right? So far I've used growisofs to record pre-mastered ISO file systems, but I don't want to make it that complicated (mound source DVD, mkisofs, growisofs / burn this ISO to destination DVD) if it can be avoided. It's not neccessary to perform this operation from one drive to the other, it's okay to have a temporary file (first read, then burn). -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
