But I can't quite put my finger on where the breakage is. Some apps seem to work, depending on media, while other don't (that used to). For example I can burn a data DVD using tkdvd, but not brasero. brasero does seem to be able to burn data cds, though I'm getting horrible throughput which I don't understand. (I seem to max at about 4x writing cds on a 48x cd burner, IIRC). I haven't found any tool that is able to write a DL dvd, currently. robert. -- Robert Noland <rnoland@FreeBSD.org> FreeBSD
