I just finished up a port of Andy Polyakov's excellent dvd+rw-tools to FreeBSD, and he has incorporated the patches into his release: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/ http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/tools/ (version 5.8.4.4.4) These tools support DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW format dvd burners, including the popular Sony 500A (which I just bought myself, hence the port). It should work on a wider variety of burners then the half-broken GNU dvdrecord tools work on (the GNU dvdrecord is a hacked up version of the original cdrecord). Andy's tool set is based around his growisofs program which features multi-session recording capabilities. You also need to have mkisofs installed since growisofs uses it. You can burn individual files or ISO images with andy's tools. Someone should build a FreeBSD port for this toolset, there's a gaping hole in the FreeBSD ports tree where DVD-recording ought to be. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com>
