Well, please try to find a proof that someone different did add DVD support
to cdrecord before February/March 1998.
You will not be able to do this because the official cdrecord DVD support
has been introduced at a time, when only two other DVD recording programs
have been available at all, one of them was from Pioneer. At the time
cdrecord introduced DVD support, only 35 DVD recorders existed in the whole
world.
