Mounting multisection DVD

Hi,
I have burnt multisection DVD (some backup of my data, now the DVD's full and closed) in Nero in WinXP. The DVD is OK, I can read it in Windows well, but in Linux I can't mount it.

Dmesg:

 
attempt to access beyond end of device 
sr0: rw=0, want=18446744073706823876, limit=8191680 
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)

Any ideas? Thanks

Is it linux ext2/3 or is it vfat?

It's burnt in windows so it's probably vfat, but it's not ISO but UDF (it contains too large files).

Re: Mounting multisection DVD

There's no such thing as "multisession DVD" within the DVD specifications (only multisession CD is officially documented), so you shouldn't expect them being readable.
Only Nero and K3B can create such anomalies.

Well OK then. For me it's common to use multisession DVDs for archivation etc.
But if K3B is able to create it, it should be also able to read it, shouldn't it?
