PHILADELPHIA ALTERNATE SYSTEMS USER GROUP .. http://www.phillyos2.org The Philadelphia Alternate Systems User Group (PASUG) invites all interested computer users to attend the May meeting. . THURSDAY, MAY 27th, 2004 7:00-10:00PM .. Bryn Mawr Community Center, 9 S. Bryn Mawr Ave, Bryn Mawr,PA .. *** MAY 27th MEETING AGENDA *** .. -- CREATING DVD's UNDER OS/2 -- At the May 27th meeting, PASUG member Vadim Kavalerov will show how to create DVDs under OS/2 using recent software releases. Availability of inexpensive DVD recorders and recordable media has made them an attractive option for creating backup copies or exchanging data in the range of 5-10 GBytes and beyond. Currently, there are two software options available: DVD/UDF File System Driver v.2.1.3 from IBM Software Choice; and RSJ CD Writer v.5.04 from RSJ Software GmbH. Vadim will review several common DVD formats: DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM (without a cartridge, Type 2 or Type 4 disks). He'll also demonstrate how to use both of these two software packages to create data DVDs under OS/2. Another area of practical interest that will be discussed is the compatibility of the recorded formats under different operating systems. Disks recorded with the latest DVD/UDF driver provide support for Unicode and long file names, files up to 4 GBytes, and can be read on Windows XP without additional software. But some Unix and older Windows systems may require a UDF driver. Other agenda items include announcements, news & new software releases, Q&A session, and 50/50 raffle. You may also enjoy fresh hot pizza, delivered to our meeting at the break period, if enough attendees so desire.
