[olug] mkisofs options for DVD mount on Windows

[Jay Swackhamer]

I usually create a file with the list of files that I want to put on the dvd,
and use this below as a burn_dvd.sh script. No issues passing the dvd  
to a winuser, no mkisofs step.


LNUM=$1
LIST=`cat list${LNUM}.txt`

growisofs -J -R -speed=1 -Z /dev/dvd ${LIST}
