[NTLUG:Discuss] backing up video dvds & burning data dvds

[agoats]

I have a Toshiba single layer and a Pioneer double layer EIDE based 
drives. Both work fine with the 80 wire IDE cables. k9copy does well 
with video DVD's and growisofs works well with data. I've had problems 
compiling k3b so far.

My "ancient" Pentium II 333MHz machine has burned DVD's at 5.9x DVD 
speed (that's 5.9 x 1.385MBytes/sec), so if you have an older machine 
you can still burn DVD's. My burners all recommend Pentium III's with at 
least a 600MHz processor minimum and a 2.0GHz or faster  as optimum with 
Windows XP. I'm running Slackware 10.1.... ;D
