Free DVD Recording Tool For Linux?

jobsagoodun writes " cdrecord-ProDVD is OK for burning DVDs but (i) it grumbles pointlessly about device names and (ii) it has a weird binary-only license that expires every six months or so. There are some Free forks off cdrtools - dvd+rw/+r/-r ,dvdrtools and this patch - do any of them make a good replacement?"

Dear Slashdot,
I've been having fun with my new Mandrake install - but coming from a Windows world, I'm puzzeled...

Does Linux have a text editor?

Re:Is this a joke?

[Ford Prefect]

Perhaps for the next Ask Slashdot we could have a question about free web browsers? Or maybe a free Linux C compiler?

• Web browser - Chimera [chimera.org]. Has an Athena-based X11 user interface, supports modern GIF images, and can retrieve data from HTTP, FTP and Gopher servers.
  
• C compiler - various exist, including the Tiny C Compiler [bellard.free.fr]. Other possibilities for porting include Sozobon C Compiler [mbernstein.de] and Open Watcom [openwatcom.org].
  

Hope that helps!

No. Real men (Linux users) use dd to write files to /dev/hd[a-z][1-9], and cat to read 'em.

Sure it can be done in Windows. Why do think that your aging Windows knowledge is still current?

Why do you think he thinks that? He did say "propably(I can't say for sure since I haven't used windows for ages)".

What do you suppose he meant by that?

First, note that "k3b" is one of the least-informative program names imaginable. It provides ZERO descriptive data (aside from possibly the fact that it uses KDE).

Excellent point! I'd stick with something more logical like "Roxio" if I were you.
