On Thu, Apr 03, 2003 at 10:24:21AM -0500 or thereabouts, Bill Moran arranged some electrons to write:

Yep. It works.

Sony DRU600a (i think) - supports all formats except -RAM

They should be fine, as long as you use ISO9660. UDF on dvd's isn't
really supported yet.

For the +RW disks, you can use burncd.
Example:
# burncd -f /dev/ide.node.of.your.burner -F format dvd+rw
# burncd -f /dev/ide.node.of.your.burner dvdrw file.iso

For -R and -RW, use dvdrecord. There are a few patches needed to make it compile.
Google may be helpful, or I can send my patched source tree. I don't have the patch
itself though :-(

Hope this helps,
