[plug] DVD burner

[Chris Caston]

Hello,

I have the following dvd burner:

Device type    : Removable CD-ROM
Version        : 0
Response Format: 2
Capabilities   :
Vendor_info    : 'SAMSUNG '
Identifikation : 'DVD R/RW SH-W08A'

I'm trying to do a backup of my home directory and I used the following
command to make the iso:

mkisofs -l -r -o chris.iso /home/chris

running:

dvdrecord  -dev=/dev/hdc -data chris.iso

gives:
