dvd+rw-tools Ported to FreeBSD

Posted by Hemos on from the hey-now-get-your-port-on dept.

Dan writes "Matthew Dillon has finished porting Andy Polyakov's excellent dvd+rw-tools to FreeBSD. These tools support DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW format dvd burners, including the popular Sony 500A, which he has bought himself. He says that these tools should work on a wider variety of burners than the half-broken GNU dvdrecord tools work on."

    Release a program that only works on the BSDs, and watch the Linux users come out in arms like their first born has been slaughtered...

    I did that once by accident. Usually I test my software on a Linux distro before making a release, but I didn't do it once. I had QNX installed on my extra partition and didn't want to wipe it out. So I just released it.

    I realized my mistake about twenty minutes later when the bug reports started coming in...
