I think the answer is no. As far as I could find out, USB CD burners don't work, so I would doubt if a DVD burner would. There is a driver missing to enable the write.

Perhaps that USB CD ROM R/W do not work is not exact. In the IBM ECS official Usb mass storage device (September 23, 2004). I find: "2.2 USB-Removable Media and CDROM Installation Instructions" and the Additional Driver Parameters for BASEDEV=USBCDROM.ADD as below:"PARAMETER FUNCTION /V Verbose Mode, displays driver information during OS/2 initialization. /CDS:n Number of CD-ROM/CD-RW devices to be served (by default 1). To remove service the key value must be set to 0." One device is pointed out in the ok list, as below: "2.6 Tested USB-Removable Media and CDROM Devices HP CDWriter Plus 8200 USB" Anybody tested it? or any other? Really no dvd R/W hope ?

I will remember there was a thread here or maybee at the ecomstation forum about the same issue. One possibility I think was by using UDF-filesystem to write files to an USB cdr/rw or dvdr/rw. I tested it and several others did. I don't think anybody had sucess. I wrote to RSJ and they told me they had no plans supporting USB-cd/dvd-units in there program. So if nothing had happened since that it seems bad. |

| "DVDBurn version 09.02 has been released (10/23/2005). This is a GUI frontend for ffmpeg, dvdauthor, mkisofs2, and dvddao to transcode video files, create a DVD structure, and build and burn a DVD image. http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=dvdburn " Would this work with it?

In the latest cddvdrtools 11b release (11/22/2005) in the readme file you can read: "I also applied some other minor OS/2 related changes, the most important of them is a new OS/2 CD/DVD transport, so aspirouter doesn't need anymore and USB CD/DVD devices are supported now." Does this change anything about our topic? Onlineuser |

| Hi I do not have or plan to get a usb burner but in theory it should be possible to both read and write to. I suspect that with correct parameters and current usb drivers - and udf(215) and os2dasd.dmd updates applied in that order - it should be possible to udf format dvd+/-RW/RAM and write data to the disc after formatting. I could well be wrong of course...  I suspect that a problem with writing to usb burners using other software is a "routing" problem - aspirout is used for ide burners using cdrecord/dvddao packages but I do not think that handled the usb bit. Looks like cddvdrtools 11b release could be quite important to a few people with usb burners  Regards Pete |
