Well, if Richard's suggestion about USE=dvd-read does not work, make sure |
| 17 |
the device is NOT mounted. Some dvd writers access hardware directly and |
| 18 |
therefore mounts will mess with that. Otherwise, check the program's |
| 19 |
usenet groups and bug reports. |

Unfortunately, it's been my experience that for DVD authoring and anything |
| 22 |
more than plain copying or burning files (i.e. most things beyond |
| 23 |
mkisofs), linux is a lot of work. Best to have a M$ partition and use |
| 24 |
whatever software you need for a particular task. |
