Title: DVD writing?
Post by: SteveJames on March 12, 2006, 09:50:45 PM

Sorry if this has been done to death!
I'd like to be able to write DVD's on my Amiga (4000)
But being a bit of a numbskull!
would like it to be as painless as possible, no cli !
Any progs?
Also, I believe the ide interface to be the bottleneck?
Would scsi solve (lessen) the problem?
Thanks for listening, and be gentle with me :)
Cheers
Steve

Try BurnIt! from Titan Computers:

Not sure what the minimum spec is though

Burn It is not available.

But Frying Pan is. Said to work pretty well.

Where did you hear that Burnit is not available?

Burning a DVD on any Amiga is almost impossible unless you have alot of memory and a fast SCSI controler. However you can aparently burn files to a DVDr drive using Burn it virsion 3.0 but I have not tried it yet as I do not own it.

burnit 3.0 is not available,

there is frying pan or eventually with makecd (but doesn't work with all burner and only with +R, and don't burn above 4GB)

scsi is prefered of course (if you don't want to burn for ages ;))

Not quite. All modern DVD+R/DVD+RW drives implement buffer underrun protection. Burning just gets very slow.

Some memory is required for buffers, but nothing insane.

So does this mean that MakeCD will (eventually) implement DVD writing?
I was under the impression that MakeCD was no longer being supported, am I mistaken?

Frying Pan is just fine.  Try the demo version.  If you like it buy it from the author.  There is a nice webpage
and good support.  The author is a nice guy, also.

 If i'm not mistaken, the demo version doesn't allow to burn anything, right?
