Hi, michaelkintz...@gmail.com: > Hi Thomas, this problem can either be fixed by patching growisofs as you > suggest, or by changing k3b to use cdrtools in preference to growisofs
Joerg will heavily object, but my sincere opinion as technical expert on this field is that growisofs is the better choice. I mentioned in this thread what i dislike about it. Joerg added the fact that it is unmaintained since 5 years. But aside from that, i cannot point to any reason why growisofs is an inferior burn backend compared with my own software which i try hard to make as good as possible. > Joerg keeps his code up to date Yep. Joerg and i seem to be the only active developers on this field. But there has nothing new happened with optical media since Andy left the playground. If not for this BD-R bug, nobody would care that growisofs is unmaintained. Currently i have the impression that in most distros the whole topic of optical media and their filesystems is unmaintained or at least under-maintained. cdrecord on DVD and BD suffers from Joerg's peculiar way to read the specs (and to not disclose which paragraphs exactly, when his understanding is brought into question). His and my understanding of MMC seem fundamentally incompatible. Obviously Andy Polykov read the same specs as i, when he created dvd+rw-tools. If people need technical support about growisofs, then i am ready to help. I am subscribed to cdwr...@other.debian.org which is the official place to submit bug reports and requests for dvd+rw-tools. Have a nice day :) Thomas
