Summary: add DVD+RW tools
Initial Comment:
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/tools/
What are the dvd+rw-tools for?
A. As implied/already mentioned - to master the DVD
media, both +RW/+R and -R[W]. I could simply refer to
the tutorial below, but figured that couple of words
about the [original] design ideas behind growisofs, the
principal burning utility, wouldn't harm. Even though a
modified kernel can let you put for example an ext2 file
system on DVD+RW, it's probably not very practical,
because you most likely want to access the data on an
arbitrary computer. Or in other words you most likely
want ISO9660. The trouble is that you might as well
want to add data now and then. And what options do
you have in the lack of multiple sessions (no, DVD+RW
has no notion of multiple sessions)? Complete re-
mastering which takes more and more time as data set
grows? Well, yes, unless you employ growisofs!
Growisofs provides the way to both lay down and grow
an ISO9660 file system on (as well as to burn an
arbitrary pre-mastered image to) all supported DVD
media.
