I think this is somewhat off topic, but since we're talking about DVD 
burners.  I haven't been able to get my DVD burner to create a file 
system that I can read on other systems.

I create the image w/ growisofs.  I can read the DVD on the system that 
created the DVD, but when I try to read it on my laptop with either 
WBEL, or the other OS, it's not recognized.

Does anyone know how I can get specifics on the DVD, i.e. I want to 
verify that it's an ISO file system.
