It is nice to talk with author/coder directly! :-) On 15 Sty, 00:39, j...(a)cs.tu-berlin.de (Joerg Schilling) wrote: > (...) > Well, I am not sure whether FreeBSD includes support for files > 4 GB.

Ugh, don't get mad plz, but that is really an ugly name - so many dots ended with a suffix and a number :\ I think its high time to finally make the 2.01.2 or even 2.02 release! ;-) > >I am using version 2.01 provided with 8.0 release binaries. > >%mkisofs -version > >mkisofs 2.01 (i386-unknown-freebsd8.0) > > I have no idea why FreeBSD ships a 5.5 year old version. > I am currently working on the 73th release of cdrtools past the version > you are using. I guess that you don't like to use a FreBSD version > from september 2004 ;-) From what I've found in the cdrtools (freshly updated) port tree Makefile: PORTNAME= cdrtools PORTVERSION?= 2.01 PORTREVISION?= 7 CATEGORIES?= sysutils audio MASTER_SITES= ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ \ ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/misc/cdrecord/ DISTNAME= cdrtools-2.01 It looks like, as you said, FreeBSD use really outdated package of cdrtools. I think this is caused by the strange naming convention, and probably because there was no 2.02 release yet, noone updated the port/ Makefile. So my statement about "obsolete dvd+rw-tools" that is a cdrtools frontend, was somehow right :-( I will try to inform the port maintainer about this situation. Joerg, do you think it is possible for you to release 2.02 (or 2.2.2) cdrtools package, or even make more frequent minor releases instead of keeping the alpha status? I think this would dramatically improve port maintaining and issue tracking in situations/pitfalls like I've felt into... You know - when googling around - it would be obvious then to know that 2.01 was a 2006 release (or even 2004) and now I have 2.32.23 release that is far more powerful :-) > For dual layer, I recommend cdrecord and DVD+R/DL (for all other DVDs > I recommend DVD- instead of DVD+). Ah, so the minus gets the priority - also very useful information! Once again great thank you for your support! :-) Tomek

Ugh, I think this could become a default... but somehow you are right - alpha means devel :\ Maybe there would be a new release of cdrtools soon :-) Best regards, Tomek

Why? > %mkisofs -udf -o ../dvd.iso blah.xyz Ah yes. Surprisingly - did you also read the Part 'bout Level 3 Image in my Post? As Joerg already gave you the option, what keeps you from issuing: mkisofs -iso-level 3 -udf [...] > mkisofs: Value too large to be stored in data type.

If you wand udf you need also the -udf switch. cu Clemens. PS: under FreeBSD ports, mkisofs also comes with a man-page. It is as bit lengthy (> 2k lines). But given you nick you should probably read it. It provides a lot of information. -- /"\ http://czauner.onlineloop.com/ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \ AND POSTINGS
