It is a fork of cdrtools that (as the name indicates) adds support for writing to DVD-R and DVD-RW disks using purely Free Software, that tries to do things the Linux way ("dvdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom whatever.iso") without suggesting to use 2.4 kernels or even other operating systems, uses a standard make system, is maintained in a public svn repository, and does away with a lot of the libc functionality-clones found in cdrtools. There are a lot more things to do to get CD/DVD writing where it should (and could) be -- if anyone else is interested in fixing the CD/DVD situation, you're more than welcome to join our team. Best regards, bero
