I've run DVD backups on a 2.0.X system for 2+ years without any
troubles (once I patched dvd-handler as noted in previous messages; the
patch idea was never adopted into the main line code for some reason
even though it's a trivial change).

I've since upgraded to 2.4 and DVDs get written just fine still, but the
catalog system somehow gets confused about the archive size.  It
frequently marks the disk as bad because the catalog size of the volume
doesn't match the real size.  Looking at the previous writes, the disk
is actually correct but bacula is not.  Go figure.  I'll probably
downgrade to 2.0 again as there is no reason why DVDs can't work (they
work just fine) and there is no reason why they shouldn't be supported.

I suspect there is even enough people interested and willing to help
out, judging by recent mailings, but for some reason the support is
going to be dropped instead???
