thanks Jima, Troy for the replys. Just burned my first DVD-R data disk with dvdrecord, worked great :) Will be experimenting with the different media soon, picked up some DVD+RW. Will also be looking into making DVD video player compatible disks. Have been using VideoCD for a while now, but it is a tad grainy. scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.22 dvdrecord: Warning: using inofficial version of libscg (bero-0.5a '@(#)scsitransp.c 1.81 01/04/20 Copyright 1988,1995,2000 J.
