Joerg will heavily object, but my sincere opinion as |
| 8 |
technical expert on this field is that growisofs is |
| 9 |
the better choice. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I mentioned in this thread what i dislike about it. |
| 12 |
Joerg added the fact that it is unmaintained since 5 years. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
But aside from that, i cannot point to any reason why |
| 15 |
growisofs is an inferior burn backend compared with my |
| 16 |
own software which i try hard to make as good as possible. |
| 17 |

Yep. Joerg and i seem to be the only active developers on |
| 22 |
this field. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
But there has nothing new happened with optical media since |
| 25 |
Andy left the playground. If not for this BD-R bug, nobody |
| 26 |
would care that growisofs is unmaintained. |
| 27 |
Currently i have the impression that in most distros the |
| 28 |
whole topic of optical media and their filesystems is |
| 29 |
unmaintained or at least under-maintained. |

|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
cdrecord on DVD and BD suffers from Joerg's peculiar way to |
| 33 |
read the specs (and to not disclose which paragraphs exactly, |
| 34 |
when his understanding is brought into question). |
| 35 |
His and my understanding of MMC seem fundamentally incompatible. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Obviously Andy Polykov read the same specs as i, when he |
| 38 |
created dvd+rw-tools. |
| 39 |
|

If people need technical support about growisofs, then i am |
| 41 |
ready to help. I am subscribed to cdwrite@××××××××××××.org |
| 42 |
which is the official place to submit bug reports and requests |
| 43 |
for dvd+rw-tools. |

Have a nice day :) |
