Pierre Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Now I got this great new Benq DW800A DVD+ recoder with its bundled Windows software. Now I want to use this with my MDK 9.2 but can't find any DVD+ recording software for Linux. Only found a GEAR package for USD 800 +++ that does DVD- ! Has anybody any experience in DVD+ recording on Linux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppercorn Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 k3b version 3.13 will record DVD's but I am not sure about -DVDs as mine is a +DVD. I have done a few with it with no problems at all. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtweidmann Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 My DVD+RW works fine with K3B, didn't need to set anything up. MDK detected the drive during the installation and then selected the DVD packages for K3B. That was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitor Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 I have a DVD +/- R(W) drive, and have written all formats with it with success. However I still have some questions: - I read somewhere that it is possible to use a +RW as if it were a HD (add and delete files at will). However I don't seem to be able to do that with K3B or other. - As a second, it would be already good just to be able to create a multisession DVD as with a CD, however, that seems not to be possible. :unsure: Anyone with experience with this? Ciao, Sitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aRTee Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 No, this can technically be done with dvd+rw too. The link you need is this: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ dvd+rw can support an arbitrary filesystem, ext2, ext3 or whatever. Read that page carefully; the part about the limited number of writes should give you some idea whether it is a good idea. In case you are referring to dvd+mrw (mount rainier for dvd -- something that is not possible in dvd-rw due to the specification), there is no drive that supports this at this moment.
