  * Unmount medium before DVD formatting
  * Silently (without introducing new strings for translation) allow the burning of files
    bigger than 4 GB with appropriate versions of genisoimage or mkisofs.
- * Do only reload the medium before verification if necessary, i.e. if the newly written
-   track cannot be read otherwise (many old drives depend on this). Hopefully this will
-   at least work around the aweful "DMA disabled" bug for many users.
