So you believe you can create a dual layer video DVD with a layer break that matches the meta data in the IFO file with that driver concept? So you believe you can write an audio CD with CD-Text that matches the indices on an existing CD with that driver concept? So you believe you can read an audio CD in a way that allows you make a definite statement on whether all bits have been read correctly or whether there have been interpolated parts inside? People who only have a hammer tend to believe that all problems are nails. This is what you get on Plan 9...
