On decent hardware, there shouldn't be a problem, especially if your burner can handle underruns. However, I get bug reports from people using older burners and slow drives, people using USB burners at USB-1 speeds, and other circumstances which are somewhat marginal. As others have said, you can have growisofs invoke mkisofs on your behalf to burn a filesystem tree directly without creating a seperate .ISO file as an intermediate step. If you want to do so in DAO mode, one can use the (undocumented) flag: "-use-the-force-luke=dao". >> 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? >> > because i'm asking why it wasn't first - i'm sure that there are many > people who needs this dvd+rw-tools was added to ports back in 2003, and depended on the mkisofs port (aka cdrtools). Apparently, dvdrecord is a fork of cdrtools, but I don't know which one appeared first. There's also burncd by Soren, which works fine for CD-R/RW burning, but doesn't do DVD-burning especially well. YMMV. -- -Chuck
