Re: [Dvdrtools-users] mkudffs help

[Chris Ditri]

If they have one (mailing list), I didn't see mention of it on their site at 
source forge.

I think your first idea is a great one!  Andrew's site is very good, but I 
think a lot more could be said on the subject.  A faq is definitely called 
for here.

I think the second one is a good idea too if the people at udf tools and 
kernel dvd+rw etc.etc. are there to lend a hand in support.  If not, then I 
don't think it would work as nicely.  You need at least a couple gurus on 
each list or they will die (the lists, not the gurus ;0) ).  So, my two cents 
is this: don't split the list if you don't have enough gurus around to 
support it.  Better to keep it consolidated at least until people get more 
experienced at burning and understanding the technology of dvd's and dvd 
burners.  If you do have several gurus following the list, then by all means 
split it!

Those are my thoughts
You did ask... :0)

Thank you!
