[Dvdrtools-users] DVD+RW/+R for Linux update

[Andy Polyakov]

DVD+RW/+R for Linux page, http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/, 
and accompanying tools were updated. Biggest news are support for 
DVD-R[W] recording (tested with SONY DRU500 and Pioneer DVR-x0[45]).

Note [and respect] that I'm not on this list, but only occasionally 
browse through the archive. Just spotted couple of questions that 
apparently need some clarification.

It was implied that my page says that "dvd+rw-tools can't burn 
DVD-Video." This is false statement. It's perfectly possible to burn 
DVD-Video with growisofs. The page delibirately abstains from discussing 
video content *preparation* issues, but it doesn't mean that you can't 
burn DVD-Video. It's just that you have to use some imagination to 
figure it out:-)

"New version supports packet recording only for DVD-RW." This is false 
statement. Packet mode (correct term is actually "Incremental Sequential 
mode") is defined even for DVD-R and dvd+rw-tools support it for both 
DVD-RW and DVD-R.

"DVD+ units support 2.4x recording in CAV mode only." This is false 
statement. DVD+ units record both DVD+RW and DVD+R in CLV mode, 2.4x 
velocity is maintained accross the whole surface.

Cheers. A.
