Re: what difference xorriso is it going to make on the user interface?

Hi,

For me it is the other way. DVD and BD are clearly explained in MMC-5,
whereas raw CD writing stays quite vague. It seems to put emphasis
on SAO, instead.

Do you read the demand to burn CD-XA from ECMA-168 ?
It does not override ECMA-119 (aka ISO 9660) but seems rather to
be a sibling of UDF. (A dead one.)

I do multi-session within the constraints of ECMA-119.
It works fine. Even Solaris has meanwhile learned to mount the last
session. (If it only would learn to allow the user to mount older
sessions.)

At least that is what i learned about the "powerpc" images.
The smallest one is ~ 50 MB:

Have a nice day :)
