DVD writing?
« 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

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.

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?
