Drag & Drop to DVD-RAM

MetaNorm

Hi guys! Can someone please tell me how to make Solus writing on udf formatted DVD-RAM discs by drag & drop or copy/paste like on USB-Stick? Reading works fine but no writing.
Thanks in advance!

MetaNorm you want to write/flash the Solus .iso to a DVD for future Solus install on a hdd or something? and you are looking for a drag and drop program .iso-to-dvd burner?

Use Brasero in repo. (https://getsol.us/articles/installation/preparing-to-install/en/). Brasero, in the preceding link, is actually rec'd by the Solus team for DVD iso install.
Again, that's if I understood you correctly.

Thanks for your answer. I just want to use it for save important data not for adding any iso file. Years ago when I used Windows I could simply use it like an USB-Stick or an external hdd. Just write and remove files via data-explorer - no burning suite like brasero was needed.

Funny to read. But did you manage it to get the discs writable?

I used the windows stuff once with usb nowdays seems like a step back in time.

Yeaaah! Udftools seem to be the solution. I'm so happy... thank you for your suggestion, it works flawless now.
Now I'm moved to Solus completely. No need for my Windows VBox anymore. Solus is so cool and you guys as well.

Yes I know it seems like a step back in time. But it's ultra-safe while every of my external USB-Device from the past is defect now. DVD-Ram will remain at least for the next 100 years so it would be fine to get it work on Solus. If it's rocket science I will use Windows in a Vbox and add my data this way to the discs.

MetaNorm Sadly, no, I did not insist.

MetaNorm Glad it worked out for you.
