I tried using mkisofs -R as shown on the man page to get the size: mkisofs ‐-R ‐-q ‐-print‐size /master/tree but the '-q' option was not recognised -- should this be -quiet? Anyway, it again said my file is too large and ignored it. The size for 's' (sector?) seems to be 2048 bytes, and when I hand calculated the sector sizes for the 7 other files I have in the directory (which were all smaller than 4GB and so were not ignored), rounding up each file's sector size to the next integer, I got a sector count of 745189, which is a little less than what mkisofs gives me (745364 with -R, or 745370 with -R -J). Am I missing something? I calculated the sector size for each file by using the size from ls -l, and divide this by 2048, and rounding it up to the next integer. Will the written data be shown as files, even for the file that is > 4GB? I just want to save it as data, and not as a video file that conforms to some standard... > dev= is unneeded in case that you only have one single CD/DVD writer. > > Jörg > Although I have one CD/DVD writer only, I do have another DVD reader (IDE) and a Panasonic PD/CD-ROM dual that is a SCSI device (it can read/write PD (the predecessor to DVD-RAM) disks, but can only play CDs)). Is there some way I can check if dev= is needed or not? Thanks in advance for any more help! Cheers, Kish
