Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K12RA

[Pablo Rodriguez <oinos@web.de>]

I have successfully burnt a DVD-R with my dvd writer.

And I guess that probably cdrecord.prodvd could have problems to detect 
the burner dvd-rw capability. The drive information I get from -prcap is 
bellow. (I'm not an expert, but shouldn't it list 'Does read/write 
DVD-RW media'?)

Thanks,


Pablo
