I just went through this to get my backups to DVD working. There are patches available to make cdrecord work with DVD writers but I'm not all that fond of the SCSI emulation required to make that work. If all you want to do is burn an ISO there is a command line utility called growisofs that makes the whole burning process fairly easy - including being able to write diretly to an IDE device. The usual GUIs have wrappers for the dvdtools as well. --rick Justin Kremer wrote: >>Which is annoying. What do you guys use to burn DVDs?
