Looking for tips on how to test out this new DVD writer I bought. Picked up a cheap DVD writer, an impulse buy at Office Max. It's a Micro Advantage IDE Internal DVD -+R/+-RW(Model:4DVDRW-B13), 2MB buffer. Sold for $130, $80 after $50 rebate. I'm running Debian unstable. I want to test if it works for data backups. Got 10 DVD-R disks. Have not found anything on compatibility with linux from google. I have not opened the unit or disks yet. dvdrecord/unstable(V1.11a15) the right tool? Would a good starting point be to make a big ISO(2-4G in size) image, then use dvdrecord to write it?(Try dummy mode first) Can I do -multi ? Any tips from those who have burned some DVD coasters? Thanks, Karl. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
