Hi,

What DVD drives have emerged in the last
3 years which would need new special
handling by growisofs ?

There is a suspected issue about the bug at the
end of BD-R which Andy declared harmless.
For DVD, i think Andy's work is hard to beat.

Since June i have an OpenSolaris snv134 running
and a few days later i released libburn 0.8.2
with OpenSolaris support.
Solaris gestures learned from growisofs and
libcdio.

Not if you have xorriso.

E.g. GNU xorriso is a complete source package
with burn capabilities for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD,
and Solaris.
  http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso-0.6.0.tar.gz
Untar, ./configure && make, on Solaris gain
r-permission for /dev/rdsk/cXtYd0s2 and privilege
"sys_devices" (e.g. by pfexec).
Perform
  pfexec xorriso/xorriso -devices
to see the recognized drives.


Have a nice day :)
