cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs/DVDs with a CDR/CDRW/DVD recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications. It supports CD/DVD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc- and
ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features include IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs, and mixed CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW,
TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes remote SCSI support and can access local or remote CD/DVD writers.

Changes:
libsiconv/sic_nls.c has been modified to allow compilation with older GCC versions. cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav now support an enhanced /etc/default/cdrecord file with an additional parameter to specify the maximum transfer size for a device. CDR_FORCESPEED=any now works for cdrecord to switch off DMA speed test results. cdrecord compiles again with a K&R compiler. A "blank emulation" layer has been added to the BluRay driver.
