In case you'all don't know, DVDRTools is a GPL "fork" of the last GPL
version of CDRecord.  From what I understand, newer versions of CDRecord
that support DVD recording are not available in GPL.

So give your above commentary, it is safe to say that CDRecord/ProDVD
1.11alpha (is that the latest version?) supports the "record" DVD-R(G)
functionality on 3rd generation DVD-RAM drives in addition to DVD-RW
drives, and DVDRTools only seems to work on the latter?

Considering the cost of "good" DVD-R(G) software for Windows anyway, the
cost of CDRecord/ProDVD might be worth the cost for now.  As such, are
there still limitations to the size of an .iso image that you can master
with Mkisofs due to kernel, utility or other limitations with the
CDRecord 1.11alpha version too?
