Ah, that time when my backup couldn't be written on the single DVD disk! Time to clean the dust from the split utility

I recently had reason to make a video DVD (yes I know it's 2025) and the free and open source DVDStyler was the answer:

Very easy to use but powerful. Looks like the project has been going for years and forums are still pretty active.

Look at the year 2K17 yet I still used DVD storage to boot ghostBSD!

The photograph shows a DVD-rw with a yellow and red 🍒 color scheme. The DVD is labeled with handwritten text. At top, it reads "Linux MATE 2K17," and at the bottom, it says "GHOST BSD FREEBSD." The DVD is a rewritable type, as indicated by the "DVD-RW" marking. The disc also has "1.4X" and "4.7" printed on it, likely referring to the disc's speed and capacity. The DVD is encased in a clear plastic holder, and the background has a red hue, possibly from lighting. The DVD shows signs of wear, with visible scratches and scuffs.

When designers think outside the box. Studio Ghibli designed this DVD case to make it look like the characters are checking their reflection in the water.
Sweet!

DVD box opened with a raised lid & the disc inside. Inside the lid there’s a picture of the characters standing by water & looking down. The reflection in the CD gives the impression that they see their reflection in the water.

Same picture but from a distance for a better overview.
