IIRC Ric Moore was in the middle of that, or the victim maybe. I just installed a new burner myself, DL & LightScribe capable. But I was rather disappointed to find that Lacie's lightscribe drivers take around 23 minutes to burn a best quality image (that isn't best quality at the src, ntsc video snapshot stolen from the wedding). The just under a gig wedding video on the shiney side was only a 4-5 minute job. But, after 5 months, I finally got that job done & Dee will deliver the disks this noon-time. I'm under the impression that mkisofs, which is used by growisofs, may still have a 4GB filesize limit, in which case the DL disks will probably be coasters. I haven't personally tried it yet, lost the incentive when the LightScribe drive in my lappy was destroyed by the first use of 4L-gui. HP will replace it, but I've not been back to town since the replacement drive came in. -- Cheers, Gene -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
