The dvd+rw-tools suite makes it possible to burn DVD images created by dvdauthor or genisoimage to DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW disks, replacing cdrecord-proDVD in many cases.

This package contains dvd+rw-mediainfo (to give details about DVD disks), and some programs to control the write speed and obtain information from DVD-RAM.

Additionally, it depends on the growisofs package to provide the main front-end for burning DVD-like media.
