Re: [Dvdrtools-users] Cannot write CD's >= 100 minutes. GRRRR!

[Ted Huntington]

I have the DRX500UL and find your comments helpful.  I cannot get packet
writing going on this drive and neither dvdrecord or cdrecord -ProDVD
(although I am not sure if I tried for DVD-R) worked.  Growisofs does work
(for both +- media), but I would really like to get udf going for DVD+R,
because udf is easier to work with.  Have any of you heard if udf for
DVD+R is going to happen for Linux?
