The inofficial DVD patch for cdrecord is known to break cdrecord so I would
not call it free, except "free of benefit".
Listen, I don't want to make a debate about what is free or not. I meant
Free (with a capital F), as Free-software, not as free beer. I am enough
aware of what is open-source and free software.
You wrote this list was not for support of other versions than the
ProDVD product. This is false, this list is a Debian list for CD writing
in general, that is used by you, as the cdrecord author, but also by
others (dvd+rw-tools, growisofs).
So if I can bring any help for cdrecord, either the Free version, either
your ProDVD proprietary version, I would be glad and everybody will
benefit. But please don't try to be misleading.
Anyway, I just tried cdrecord-prodvd-2.01b31-i686-pc-linux-gnu and I
have the same problem.
???
1) cdrecord-prodvd-2.01b31-i686-pc-linux-gnu is outdated
Fair enough, but I followed the link that is on your own webpage:
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/cdrecord.html
wich directs to:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord
I cannot find any later version. Please provide a link so that I could
try it.
2) Do you have a problem that you did not send in your mail?
cdrecord definitely will not print the same as you did mail.....
With the cdrecord-prodvd I downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/cdrecord-prodvd-2.01b31-i686-pc-linux-gnu
I get this exact output:
