On burners which do not have buffer-underrun correction capabilities (ie, "BurnProof", "JustLink", etc), trying to create the ISO image on the fly and pipe it to the burning process can result in coasters. YMMV, but I prefer to create the .ISO image seperately, and confirm it contains what I think it should contain seperately, before trying to burn it. However, there's room for more tools in ports, so if you like dvdrecord enough to want to use it under FreeBSD, why not port it yourself? -- -Chuck
