[Dvdrtools-users] new to the list

[Shawn Milochik]

Hi.  I'm brand new to this list, and I have a couple of basic questions.

1.  I downloaded and compiled dvdrtools, and I read the man page for
dvdrecord.  There is no mention of anything to do with recording to a DVD-R
-- only to CD-Rs.  Can dvdrecord burn DVD-Rs?

2.  What kind of file do I need to make in order to burn a DVD?  Do I just
use mkisofs, or is a DVD not an iso9660 filesystem?

3.  If dvdrecord does burn DVDs, which formats does it do?  (DVD-R, DVD-RW,
DVD+R, DVD+RW).

I have a Sony DRX-500UL burner.  It does DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW,
and connects via firewire or USB 2.0.  I have been able to get my Xandros
system to see it as a SCSI drive, but I couldn't get anywhere with
software.  Any help and links to good documentation would be appreciated. 
I've done a lot of Google and Google Groups searching, and I haven't been
able to find anything useful.  It seems like nobody is burning DVDs in
Linux, and I know that can't be so.

Thank you,
Shawn
