.. *** MAY 27th MEETING AGENDA ***
.. -- CREATING DVD's UNDER OS/2 --


At the May 27th meeting, PASUG member Vadim Kavalerov will show how to
create DVDs under OS/2 using recent software releases.

Availability of inexpensive DVD recorders and recordable media has made
them an attractive option for creating backup copies or exchanging data in
the range of 5-10 GBytes and beyond.

Currently, there are two software options available: DVD/UDF
File System Driver v.2.1.3 from IBM Software Choice; and RSJ
CD Writer v.5.04 from RSJ Software GmbH.

Vadim will review several common DVD formats: DVD-RW, DVD+RW
and DVD-RAM (without a cartridge, Type 2 or Type 4 disks).
He'll also demonstrate how to use both of these two software
packages to create data DVDs under OS/2.

Another area of practical interest that will be discussed is the
compatibility of the recorded formats under different operating systems.
Disks recorded with the latest DVD/UDF driver provide support for Unicode
and long file names, files up to 4 GBytes, and can be read on Windows XP
without additional software. But some Unix and older Windows systems may
require a UDF driver.

Other agenda items include announcements, news & new software releases,
Q&A session, and 50/50 raffle. You may also enjoy fresh hot pizza,
delivered to our meeting at the break period, if enough attendees so
desire.
