How can I burn dvd’s in QNX6.3? Is it possible?
I dowloaded dvd+rwtools but could not compile under QNX.

AFAIK currently it is only possible to burn CD’s with QNX, not DVD’s. If you
have so much data that you need to burn a DVD, the only way to go is either
split it to CD’s, compress it better, or use a network connection to a
machine that can burn DVD’s.
Cheers,
Malte

You could always use a DVD-RAM drive if you need to. They’re supported
out of the box

Yeah, it’d been a long time coming too. The gap between 2 MB floppies and DVD-RAM as a cheap general storage device was a problem. Things like ZIP discs and LS120 discs never got cheap enough. The floppy is still better at booting, one day there might be a concerted effort to make a generic boot process at the device level rather than the many broken attempts at the BIOS level.
Hopefully BluRay will be a winner too.

DVD-RAM drives can be had for less than $50 now. The media is cheaper than
floppy on per-megabyte basis and has 100,000 rewrite cycles (vs 1000 for
DVD±R/RW). And it is bootable by any machine that supports booting from CD
(which is pretty much any machine now).

Only as ISO’s AFAIK which is a bit of a bummer. Maybe it’s just a BIOS limit that won’t let a DVD-RAM disc be treated as a removable HDD.
