cdrskin only works on Linux but cdrecord works on more than 30 different platforms and cdrecord supports a lot more different drives than cdrkin does. Not everything that looks simple in a simple program is simple in a program like cdrecord that honors complex constraints..... There are unfortunately several Openrating systems that do not support the FIFO in cdrecord and the FIFO is needed in order to support -isosize with pipes. I did have this feature on my radar since a long time but there have been other more important features with higher priority.... > DVD DAO is said to be preferrable for standalone > DVD players (see dvd+rw-tools docs). > I am not aware of any such reason if the intended > readers are DVD drives in computers. It is a matter of fact that SAO mode gives the best read compatility.
