DVDRTOOLS http://www.arklinux.org/projects/dvdrtools
===============================================================================
This is dvdrtools, a fork of cdrtools[1] with the primary goal of supporting
writing to DVDs.
The original version of the DVD driver was written by Nicolae Mihalache, and
can be downloaded as a patch to cdrtools 1.11a8 at
http://www.abcpages.com/~mache/cdrecord-dvd.html.
It is presently being developed by bero(at)arklinux(dot)org using a
Pioneer DVR-A03 DVD writer and a NEC SD-R 5002 writer; any other MMC
compliant hardware is likely to work.
Aside from adding DVD writing support, changes in dvdrtools are:
- Remain 100% Free Software. dvdrtools has been forked off the
last cdrtools release without "you are not allowed to modify the
code below" sections.
- Clean up the code and build system, drop some legacy support code
- Support writing film DVDs (convert video files to the correct format, etc.)
- Remove unnecessary code duplication, this is dvdrecord, not dvdlibc
Plans for the future include:
- Better support for writing directly to device files, without having
to create fake SCSI bus mappings -- including autodetecting which
access method (ATAPI vs. SCSI, ...) to use
- Clean up a lot of the code
- Make parts of the code a shared library so GUIs like k3b don't have
to call an external app and parse its output
