Hi, I've recently tried writing a [data] DVD+RW containing two large files of over 2 GiB each. mkisofs generates an apparently correct ISO 9660 image -- I can mount it via loopback and read the files: -rw-r--r-- 1 hrm media 2275737600 2004-05-16 23:41 Sea-of-Souls-1.mpeg -rw-r--r-- 1 hrm media 2284208128 2004-05-16 14:13 Sea-of-Souls-2.mpeg When I write the image to a DVD+RW, both files appear on the DVD, but their lengths are incorrect: -r--r--r-- 1 root root 10813440 2004-05-16 23:41 Sea-of-Souls-1.mpeg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2506752 2004-05-16 14:13 Sea-of-Souls-2.mpeg The first file's length is 0x87000000 bytes short; the second is 0x88000000 bytes short. The readable parts of the files are apparently correct, since they play fine with mplayer. They're simply too short. The error is repeatable and consistent -- the files are always those lengths. The machine in question is an Athlon64, with a 32-bit userspace. I have observed this problem with both 32- and 64-bit kernels (2.6.6). I've submitted a bug report to Debian's BTS (#250312), but I've had no reply yet, so I thought I'd try here, since the DVD+RW-tools author suggests this list for support. Hugo. PS. Please cc: me. I'm not subscribed to this list. -- === Hugo Mills: hugo@... carfax.org.uk | darksatanic.net | lug.org.uk === PGP key: 1C335860 from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net or http://www.carfax.org.uk --- The future isn't what it used to be. ---
