Sony DRU700A (Dual Layer DVD Burner) - Linux Compatable?
Hi All,
Very highly considering buying a Sony DRU700A
But I want to be sure that it will be compatable with linux
I currently use Mandrake 10.0 and kernel 2.6.3-13mdk (Mandrake's Version)
I haven't had any problems with it under SuSE 9.0, kernel 2.4.21.
Works just fine. I've only be creating data DVD+RW's though.
Have not tried a "Double Layer" DVD+R yet. Can't seem to find any...
What software is good to use for burning DVDs under Linux?
I'm thinking of an equivalent of gcombust/xcdroast but for DVDs - I want a nice GTK GUI, ideally.
I just bought a NEC ND-2510A dual-layer DVD burner, and I'll be damned if I'm using the bundled Windows software.
Please don't tell me I have to learn the 50,000 cmdline options of 'mk'.
I don't know for sure, because I don't have a DVD burner but I think you can use K3B
that is a really easy GUI for burning CD's I think it has DVD support but it might be an extra.
eg different compiling or extra RPM or somethin
I've used K3B as well. Very easy to use.
For command line use, the modified cdrecord that comes with SuSE 9.0 also works.
So does growisofs, which requires far fewer flags and arguments.
I'm new to Linux and have just installed it on my system which uses an NEC 2510A DVD burner.
I'm using K3B to write but it only allows me to burn CDs and not DVDs.
