Requirements

Of course, you need a DVD burner, a disc. You also need an installed Linux system, with dvd+rw-tools. If you don't have this software, you can download on the following homepage:

You need to know the device name of your DVD burner. If you don't know it, you may find it with dmesg. You should see something like this:
  # dmesg | grep DVD 
  hdd: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
  hdd: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2000kB Cache, UDMA(33)
In this example, the two output lines allow to know the device name. It's "/dev/hdd".
This was tested under Linux-2.4.26, with dvd+rw-tools-5.17, on a DVD+RW, and the device was "Pioneer DVR-106D". It is supposed to work with all kind of DVD discs, and all DVD burners.
