    Does anyone have a clue as to weather Pioneer's DVR-A03 will work with cdrdao, or if anyone is or is planning to work to support it?

    I'm really interested in making video DVDs with Linux, so I'd like to skip a CD-R/RW drive since I don't have one yet. If the support is limited to writting CD-R/RW's at first, that would still be great.

      I've tried cdrado 1.4.1(i think) and it did not work

      I get a long int error when reading dvd-r/rw disk-info (i'll have to write down the full error and post it...)

      cdrado would not even write to cdr or cdrw disk's...
      I have an older 4x4x20 and i can write the same image to that drive but not to the dvd drive with cd media in it....

      I can provide info as nessary to make this work since i refuse to install and M$ products on my home computer...

      I now have the Pioneer DVR-A03 drive, and writing CD's with cdrdao works fine with cdrdao 1.1.5 and generic-mmc with option 0x20. I tried to write CD-TEXT data (with option 0x10), but no CD-TEXT data was written and no error was issued. The resulting disk plays fine, though.

      Naturally cdrdao doen't work well with DVD media.

      If it makes any difference, I've got the drive in an external IEEE 1394 enclosure -- makes it easy to move between my Linux and Windows computers so that I can write DVD's (that is one of two reasons why I have a computer running Windows at all).
