Interesting.

I'm using a KnppMYTH V4R2 systme, and an apt-cache search leads me to
dvdrecord. And that packages os already installed.

Great, so I fire up the man page, and look, there is teh _cdrecord_ man
page, pretty much word for word. I recall trying ti use cdrerd ealrier in
this quest, and winding up looking at a Debain README, that mentione an
uinsupported patch to cdrecord to work with DVD's.

I gather that dvdrecord is cdrecord with this patch applied?

Are .vob's the equivilant of ,iso's for DVDs? Or do the require some
conversion prior to writing to DVD's?

Anyone got a pointer to somewhere to read up on all this vide file format
stuff? It's all new to me.

Thanks.
