DVDwrite is a program to produce BD-R / BD-RE / DVD±R DL / DVD±R / DVD±RW /DVD-RAM / CD-R / CD-RW under OpenVMS/AXP, VAX/VMS, Charon-VAX and OpenVMS/I64.

A BD-R(E) has a capacity of 23 GB that is five times higher than a DVD whereas the DVD capacity is more than 12x higher than the capacity of a CD-R. So Blue-Ray and DVD discs are an ideal medium to store/archive huge amounts of data. The burned medium can be mounted as a normal disk. You may then restore the complete disk or select a file via backup or copy.

A debugging option enables the author of the program to locate and correct problems with unknown drives remotely.

 In case of using a SCSI-IDE-bridge the program also works on OpenVMS-machines with SCSI-interfaces.
