The dvdrtools web page has this paragraph: dvdrtools is a fork of cdrtools, with the primary goals of remaining 100% Free Software (dvdrtools is a fork of the last version of cdrtools without any "you are not allowed to modify this section" comments), and adding support for DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and media. Checking the source, none of the troublesome bits from cdrtools are there, and the build system is replaced with automake. I can't see any problem with it. -- Måns Rullgård [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
