This part has been confusing me. What is all that about DVD recording in
the cdrecord DVD-Pro version? Or is that it: you need to buy the pro
version to get DVD burning? This has been my assumption. Of course, having
the cdrecord --help screen list DVDs does not clarify things:

		dev=target      SCSI target to use as CD/DVD-Recorder

Or the DVD part is only refering to the fact that you CD recorder may also
play DVDs.

Of course, as I do not have a DVD burner yet, this has all been academic.
