cdrtools DVD Extensions adds DVD support to cdrtools.

OSS DVD extensions for cdrtools 2.0 is a opensource extension to add DVD support to J?rg Schilling's cdrtools package.

A patch for cdrtools-2.0 is created and is actually a translation of a patch which can be found on abcpages.com. That patch is based upon cdrtools 1.11. The patch given here is based upon cdrtools-2.00.tar.gz.

The objective is to give cdrtools dvd extensions without imposed limits, and also to have a Open Source solution to burn dvd's. Currently DVD-R(W) support is added. As a convenience also SRPM and RPM packages for several RPM based Linux distro'sare given. Here's a usefull short HOWTO on setting up and using your CD/DVD writer for the first time, in case you detect problems.

For DVD+R(W) see other projects. For instance checkout dvd+rw-tools. I wrote a small HOWTO on how to write SAO/DAO dvd iso's on DVD+R using growisofs. Recently OSS DVD functionality has been expanded with DVD+RW and DVD+R DL burning, with the release of cdrtools-2.01.01a01-ossdvd.patch.bz2.

What's New in This Release:
This patch is for cdrtools 2.01.01a05 and is adjusted to work with Linux kernel 2.6.12 or higher and can be compiled with GCC 4.0.x.
The rawio patch using libcap was integrated and the scsibug patch is now redundant as it has been integrated into cdrtools.
The RPMs and SRPMs were updated for Mandriva 2006.0.
