[Gllug] re: DVD Drives (writers)

[t.clarke]

Out of interest, I have recently acquired a NEC2510A, which seems to work
well on 4x discs.  It supports the dual-layer format, although I havn't used
any yet as the are still extortionately expensive.

ATHe 'herrie' website also provides a nice firmware patch, which I have
applied, which removes amongst other things the 'riplock' feature of the
drive, allowing one to read video-dvd's at max speed instead of the 2x they
are otherwise limited to.  Handy, if you want to archive copies of your
favourite films.  (Unfornately, as far as I can see, you need to use Windoze
to do this, as no linux equivalent of Clone-DVD seems to exist - anyone
know better?).
