Re: [Dvdrtools-users] Help with Sony DRX-500ULX drive

[Jay Berkenbilt]

Unless I'm mistaken, dvdrtools still doesn't support the DRU500A or
DRU500AX.  Maybe it doesn't support the ULX either.  Have you tried
dvd+rw-tools?  In spite of the name, you can burn DVD-R and -RW discs
with it.  I have burned many -R and -RW discs (as well as +R and +RW
discs) with my DRU500A using these tools.  Of course, the DRU500A is
an internal IDE drive, but I hear from sources of unknown reliability
that the DRU500ULX is supposed to work under Linux.  As far as I know,
dvd+rw-tools works under only Linux and Solaris.  I bet cdrecord-ProDVD
probably works this drive, though this is based only on the fact that
it has historically worked with a much wider range of hardware than
dvdrtools or cdrecord + dvd patch.

For dvd+rw-tools, check out http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/
