I don't think many DVD burners support MRW. At least that's the impression I got from reading a lot of drive reviews. It's a strange thing because most combo drives seem to support it. AFAIK the DVD+MRW standard is quite new so that would explain part of it but I'm still wondering why the drives wouldn't support CD-MRW. -- Ville Syrjälä syrjala@sci.fi http://www.sci.fi/~syrjala/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
