RE: [Dvdrtools-users] Newbie question

[Scott Prive]

I know there are several folks here with Pioneer DVR-103 and 104 (sometimes 
called A03 and A04). These are reported to work.

SOME DVD burners are reported to be troublesome or non-working under Linux. I'm 
not aware of a webpage with a maintained list of "tested" burners so there is a 
lot of un-navigated territory.

No one here (AFAIK) has tried the Sony combo-burner. I would not buy one to use 
under Linux, yet... unless you were assured it would work (or you can live with 
burning under Windows). It sounds like a great drive.
