DVD-R have not been tested yet. If no Incremental Streaming feature (21h)
is offered, then the media is regarded as unsuitable without further

Currently only DVD-RW (and most probably DVD-R) can be used for the Sequential
recording model. DVD-RW must be in state "Sequential Recording". The media must
be either blank or appendable. Newly purchased DVD-RW media are in this state.
Used DVD-RW get into blank sequential state by option
.B blank=deformat_sequential .
.br
Incremental Streaming is the default write mode if it is offered by the media.
It resembles much TAO writing with CD, as it allows track sources of
unpredicted length and to keep media appendable by option
.B -multi .
Only restriction towards CD-RW is the lack of support for -audio tracks.

(The other write mode, DAO, is not implemented yet. It will allow no -multi and

About compliance with *strong urge* of API towards burn_drive_scan_and_grab()
For a more comprehensive example of the advised way to behave with libburn
see test/libburner.c .
For a more comprehensive example of the advised way to write an application
of libburn see test/libburner.c .
cdrskin was the initiator of the whitelist functionality within libburn.
Now it has problems to obviously comply with the new API best practice
presciptions literally. Therefore this explanation:
On start it restricts the library to a single drive if it already knows the
persistent address by option dev= . This is done with a combination of
burn_drive_add_whitelist() and burn_drive_scan(). Not compliant to the
literal strong urge but in fact exactly fulfilling the reason for that
urge in the API: any scanned drive might be opened exclusively after
burn_drive_scan(). It is kernel dependent wether this behavior is on, off
or switchable. The sysdamin will want it on - but only for one drive.
So with dev=... cdrskin complies to the spirit of the strong urge.
Without dev=... it has to leave out the whitelist in order to enable bus
scanning and implicit drive address 0. A tradition of 9 months shall not
be broken. So burns without dev= will stay possible - but harmless only
on single drive systems.
Burns without dev= resp. with dev=number are harmless on multi-drive systems.
This is because Cdrskin_grab_drive() either drops the unwanted drives or
it enforces a restart of the library with the desired drive's persistent
address. This restart then really uses the strongly urged function
burn_drive_scan_and_grab().
Thus, cdrskin complies with the new spirit of API by closing down libburn
or by dropping unused drives as soon as the persistent drive address is
known and the drive is to be used with a long running operation. To my
knowlege all long running operations in cdrskin need a grabbed drive.
This spaghetti approach seems necessary to keep small the impact of new API
urge on cdrskin's stability. cdrskin suffers from having donated the body
parts which have been transplanted to libburn in order to create
burn_drive_scan_and_grab() . The desired sysadmin friendlyness was already
achieved by most cdrskin runs. The remaining problem situations should now
be defused by releasing any short time grabbed flocks of drives during the
restart of libburn.
