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."

    just IMHO the cdrecord-prdvd tools suck - read, for exampl. this readme - they suck because they are essentially not really free. this thingee seems to be a step in the right direction, although one still needs the cdrtools according to this faq.
