cdrecord vs. wodim again
hi all and *especially jörg s., long-term initiator of cdrecord and 
cdrtools*.
two weeks ago i asked on this list 'what is better': cdrecord or wodim. 
on one of the responses i answered that the most recent version of 
cdrecord/cdr-tools completely damaged two brandnew cdrom's. jörg asked 
me for more info: and here comes some.
1. only one cd/dvd-burner om my machine produced this undesirable 
effect. a couple of other burners worked flawlessly with the most recent 
bêta of jörg sch.
so it could be that jörg did not make this beta recognize this burner:
