LOL, Neil-- I have a NEC 2510A and I have the same problem-- never tried DL, because the disks are too expensive (and I don't really have any desperate need to burn a DL disk to make it worth my while). But I have no reason to suspect that it *wouldn't* work, insofar as the drive otherwise works correctly. I suppose that so long as K3b is capable of doing whatever needs to be done to manage a DL disk, then burning one should work fine as well. However, I have not investigated whether the common burning tools are capable of doing whatever needs to be done, and in fact, I don't know precisely what needs to be done different (if anything does), and I would like to know the answer to your question as well. On the other hand, I have great faith in K3b, and I do think that when I need it to burn DL disks, it most likely won't bat an eye. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
