A) cdrtools, period. Especially if you try to burn DVDs with long, non-
ascii (read 'utf8') filenames, labels and other "weird" stuff.

I had lost quite a few DVDs in the past before I remembered that it was 
cdrkit the burner and not cdrtools.

But, the developer of cdrtools... that's another story. In this thread 
alone, he's been asked at least twice why he doesn't dual-license cdrtools 
and he conveniently ignored it.


Herr Schilling, why don't you dual-license (or, best, single-license to 
GPL) cdrtools?
