I didn't mean to tread on anyone's toes, but I have seen various bug
reports on this list related to dvdrecord, and never anyone to stand up
for the program. Enough to regard it as dead.

Are you sure this is a good way to go? growisofs is way better already,
I see no need to have two programs doing the same thing. Waste of scarce
resources. Help Andy instead. Warly is also doing something - these are
all parallel efforts with no benefit below the bottom line. The only
benefit I can see is a dvd-burning program with cdrecord cmd line
compatibility, but by now all GUI burning frontends have probably zeroed
in on growisofs already. Or to put it bluntly, IMHO your efforts in the
burn software department don't even fill a hole. OTOH I would *really*
appreciate if you improved udffs instead...

I'm sitting back to watch the entertainment.. :))
