Of > those, dvd+rw-tools only works on DVD+RW, Please add "with my own burner" :) dvd+rw-tools are, maybe for the moment, the only good tools to burn DVDs, and they handle *all* DVD media types. Andy Polyakov (the dvd+rw-tools author) is doing a fantastic job with his program and is easily reachable for any issue. If you have a problem with you burner, please contact the cdwrite mailing list (http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/), it will help to improve the tools and the support under FreeBSD. > burncd cannot correctly format my > DVD+RW (only can be done correctly from the SCSI emulation layer with > cdrecord-dvdhack or dvd+rw-tools), and the other two are completely > unacceptable in that they are unavailable in source/crippleware or > unavailable period, it seems, in the case of dvdrtools. > > As to the quality being bad, did you submit the DVD-hack patches back to the > author?

And why the author would accept a patch when he provides a binary-only version of cdrecord-ProDVD? Marc
