+Please note that the DVD code is depreciated, that is
+we no longer support it, and in a future version it will
+be removed.  The code is very likely not to work.
+
+The reason we have depreciated it is that writing to DVD
+devices is not very reliable, and more modern devices
+such as USB sticks or USB drives are much more reliable.
+
+Just the same if you want to write Bacula Volumes to DVDs,
+or CDs, you can do so by limiting the size of the Bacula
+volume to be slightly smaller than the device, then when
+you are ready, you simply write the volume to the DVD by
+using any standard DVD burning program.
+
 Bacula allows you to specify that you want to write to DVD. However,
 this feature is implemented only in version 1.37 or later.
 You may in fact write to DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, or DVD-RW
