Don't forget fragile and subject to aging. But they do fit in a

an external hard drive that
I could always have connected and not worry about changing disks. I
haven't looked back since.

FYI, I've been doing it for 2 years or so; once it was up and running
it works fairly well. I do save the parts to a separate folder after
writing them to the DVD just to make

Yep. The script has lots of hard coded values. I also recommend using

The biggest one for me was adding -dvd-compat to the "self.growparams"

Within bconsole, you can use "list files jobid=NNN" where NNN is the
