Have a look at the above URL, there were no patches for e.g. 2.01a17 - 2.01a19 and 2.01a21 - 2.01a24. This means if the patch for the previous version no longer applies and there's no updated patch available (which happens often) I have to either delay a port update or remove the DVD-patch-option until a new version of the patch is available or create my own patch - all no good solutions. b) The quality of the DVD-patch is bad, there are obvious bugs (tried to fix some via an EXTRA_PATCHES while the port had an option for the DVD-patch). c) Patching cdrecord means there's absolutely no support for it by its author Joerg Schilling, something I don't want for the port. If you want to write DVDs please use a tool that's written for it, like e.g. burncd(8), cdrecord-ProDVD, dvd+rw-tools or dvdrtools (note that the latter is a fork of cdrecord which violates the GPL according to Joerg Schilling).
