I am burning DVD's using xcdroast version 0.98 alpha 15.  There is a
free, not-for-profit code for the cdrtools.

Taken from the README.ProDVD located in the xcdroast tarball.

Now enter your CDR_SECURITY key in the X-CD-Roast setup. If
you don't have one, you can use the "free for private usage" key from
the README above.

Link to readme mentioned.

This is a very informative README.  Suggest you read all of it.

I find xcdroast to get the job done for me.  I would like to become
familiar with the CLI to cdrtools so I can create some automated
backups.

I hope this is helpful.
