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

Oops, nevermind. I think I found the "magic". It was
just buried pretty deep in that web page. In about 15
minutes I'll get to see if it actually worked.

A special thanks to everybody that is actually developing
this product. Its nice to see a project that is actively
maintained.

I would make the one suggestion that the usage of growisofs
should be more traditional. this /dev/sr0=image.iso is very
non-intuitive.

Anyways,  thanks!
