How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

Hi

Why there is no Linux Burning Software, which can burn
>4GB Files on a dvd.
Every programm which depends on mkisofs (K3b, Gnomebaker etc) fails.
Ok..there is nerolinux which does it, but why is there no OSS for this?

Have you tried Graveman? I dunno its dependencies tho.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

sorry im not overfamiliar with UDF stuff , but
could you not compress and/or split the image file(s), and write multiples of 4Gig. after all, whats the max u can get on a dvd anyways? 9.something ?

not sure if its a linux filesize thing, as ive used dd before now and it maxes out at 4gig when i write over to the big usb drive, so its a dd and split into many 4G chunks for big drive backup.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

thanks for your replies, but..

- Graveman ist just another frontend to mkisof, growisofs, etc. so the same issue
- yes, I could split the files to a size smaller 4 Gig, but thats not what I want to.

I nerolinux can do it, why can´t the others?

Every programm which depends on mkisofs (K3b, Gnomebaker etc) fails.

do any of them spec an error message?
maybe start one from a terminal and see if they throw out any info on why it chokes.

Edit:
looks like mkisofs / growisofs / iso9660 limitiation. Readup :-

You mention not wanting to split files. also nero.
would this be for multi-media DVD's by any chance ?

Edit2: possible workaround: here

why nero can? maybe as it uses UDF/ISO9660 Bridge "bridge" being the operative bit.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

I`m burning video-dvds from selfmade isos which are approx 4.3Gb with growisofs. Works like charm here.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

mit3z, yes me too, 4G being a rough approximation of the maximum 4.7 disk size, but its not like the Double, around 9.blah Gig. the iso cutoff is around 4.something

The exact figure, to a lesser extent, also depends on true 2^10 1k = 1024 bytes, (kilo/mega/Giga etc)  or Decimal/Salesmans 1k = 1000 bytes, multiples.

iirc you can get 4.3 - 4.4 on a 4.7 DVD.

Dual layer  or whatever makes it 8.8 / 9.4. not right sure as i dont copy commercial films which correspond to a maximum quality for given space, just private training films, fit on what i can where. 4.4/7 is the maximum i do.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

Maybe i remember incorrectly (damage due to alcohol) but afaik the problem is fixed years ago. I burned DvDs bigger than 4GB myself, what should be impossible without udf support.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

burning iso of video dvds is not the issue.
What I mean is: burning one file of 4100-4400 MB on a dvdr.
Or maybe bruning a 7000Mb file on a dvd+dl

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

sorry, i mis/understood that the process of burning uses ISOFS  as in mkisofs / growisofs etc. and that nero uses a bridge version of that.

wasnt reffering to the mkisofs command to create a large file.

good luck with ur quest. pls feedback if you get a result as your argument re OSS v proprietary sounds an interesting point.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

I'm bringing this thread back to life...
Burning UDF in console applications is possible, I know that.
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-linux- … nux-255579

But is there any gui application, that is able to burn UDFs?
graveman f.ex. even can't burn dvd images - only cd

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

I don't know about open source apps (I haven't tested them enough) but with nero if you want to do that you must select UDF only as a filesystem, you you try to add iso9660/joliet also then it will not allow you to add files larger than 4GB. Maybe k3b or brasero might do what you want.

Re: How to burn UDF Data DVDs?

Don't use wodim as it doesn't work.
I'm suprised there wasn't support for this "universal" format.

I figured k3b might do the udf support, has anyone succedded burning udf image with k3b?

--EDIT--
bah i spoke too soon, my kernel didnt have packet writing enabled, ima try it later see if i works.
