cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs/DVDs with a CDR/CDRW/DVD recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications. It supports CD/DVD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc- and ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features include IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs, and mixed CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes remote SCSI support and can access local or remote CD/DVD writers.

Changes:
cdrecord now rechecks media sizes after a blank/format command to avoid problems with media size assumptions. cdrecord now implements a "blank" simulation for media that does not support the blank command (like DVD-RAM and DVD+RW). A bug in mkisofs with UDF files larger than 4 GB was fixed.
