DVD Burning

Hi, i'm sure this quiestion as already been asekd in this forums, but i couldn't find anthing about it. The fact is that i don't know how to burn dvds with a kernel 2.6. Until some time ago i used kernel 2.4 and could burn using dvdrecord, but now i don't know what to do.

I've found some threads talking about copyind dvd's, but that isn't what i want, i just want to burn down dat i have on my hard drive. The only thing i found is that i have to use growisofs to make the image, but i don't know what to use to burn it. Btw, i already found about k3b, but i don't want to install the kde libraries only for burning, i was searching for something i could use with the shell.

Thanks for the attention, and sorry if this has already been asked.

With the dvdr use flag set, emerging xcdroast should give you the tools you need. The xcdroast program will have directions in it about getting dvd stuff working.

growisofs should be doing the burning for you. How are you using it?

Hi, i wasn't able to use xcdroast, but i found how to use growisofs, it does the job pretty good.
Btw, i use it in a little script so:

growisofs -Z /dev/hdc -dvd-compat -r -J -udf $1

I just burned a dvd and it worked perfectly.
