It is not very clear what utilities are capable of writing R or RW CDs on a multipurpose optical drive. It seems that burncd doesn't do this and the man pages for growisofs talks of specific DVD media types but not CDs. Is cdrecord a suitable tool for this purpose? And a (sort of) related question, will growisofs write double or dual layer DVDs? The man page does make mention of a write limit of 4+GB but I see this can be turned off. Is this enough to enable writing dual/double layer medis? Are there more suitable utilities executing these tasks? I'm not looking for GUI wrappers for command line utilities but the base level utilities. Any help appreciated. Malcolm Kay
