I personally find these 'Napster style' programs useless. I haven't
downloaded and tried 'gift' yet, but I get the impression this is what it's like (please correct me if I'm wrong).

If you require SMB style file sharing with mount points, Samba is the
only way. I look forward to v3 and directory service support.
(see http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/alpha/WHATSNEW.txt , this is taken from uk mirror, i'm surprised at URI too.)

Don't the existing command line tools (cdrecord|dvdrecord) already
available support DVD writing? >Does this help?

David Murphy can give you more info regarding UT3. He gets head shot
frequently!
