    Hi,

    I've downloaded the DVDrecord Version, compiled it and test it.

    Here is a log.

    This is the OpenVMS Freeware V6.0 port of the DVDRTOOLS suite.

    Tnis is **not** an official nor a supported port of the DVDRTOOLS
    suite. This port involves various modifications to the source
    code as received from J=F6rg Schilling, Dr. Eberhard Heuser-Hofmann,
    and various other folks.

    Please do **not** contact Jörg Schilling concerning any errors that
    might be found within this port, and please do **not** expect the

    And now? Where is a programmer, who is responsible for this code?
    The GPL claims that the must be a responsible person, otherwise
    the distribution is illegal.

    I'm going to offer a version of DVDwrite at not cost, but only in binary
    form and with reduced functionality (only single recording speed, only
    DVD minus R(W) recording). Advantage of this solution: Support
    if there are problems. DVDwrite is a program that has been tested with
    many
    DVD burners (Pioneer, Sony, Toshiba, LG). The command set for the DVD
    minus R(W) is defined more precisely than for DVD plus R(W) so the numbers
    of working configurations are higher.

    I would like to get a feedback if this solution is acceptable for the VMS
    community or what could be done in this case.

    Eberhard
