That's not what he said? Here's what he said:
Message-ID: <5c3iamF2ujf2cU1@mid.dfncis.de>
"But wodim does not support DVD writing ..."
Okay, "writing" vs. "burn" aren't the same word. In this
context, any practical difference between the words rounds is
indistinguishable from zero.
Where there is a big difference is in comparing a safety device
like seatbelts that are needed very rarely but are very important
when they are needed vs. something like wodim that can be
demonstrated time and time again to have successfully done the
job it was given. I verify every DVD wodim burns for me, and
failures are quite rare.
