DVD Packet Writing Slowness

[Anders Karlsson]

Hi there,

Well. Yes and no. With K3b you are probably writing Disk-At-Once or
Track-At-Once. So you construct a ISO filesystem to put on the CD.
What I am tinkering with is Packet Writing. At tho moment only CD-RW
and DWD±RW (pos. DVD-RAM) is supported. It turns the CD or DVD into a
"large floppy", you can mount it, copy things to and from it, delete
things from it.

There are some good guides at http://www.pond-weed.com/dvd/ ,
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ about all this.

Thanks anyway, :)
