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.
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk I have a workstation.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
Offline
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

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.

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
Offline
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.

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.
