growisofs and cdrskin hardly ever need a size prediction. Nearly always there is a way to write a session without previously announcing its size. (Except with fast blanked DVD-RW.) growisofs and cdrskin should be able to figure it out by themselves if you do not force them. (I.e. no option -dao with cdrskin, no -dvd-compat or -use-the-force-luke=dao with growisofs.) growisofs is sometimes hard to stop from interpreting an eventual ISO 9660 superblock. So with ISO images, even -dvd-compat and -use-the-force-luke=dao are ok. There is also option -isosize for cdrecord, wodim, cdrskin. In man cdrecord and man wodim i read: "Do not use this option on files created by mkisofs and in case cdrecord reads the track data from stdin." In man cdrskin: "This option can be performed on track sources which are regular files or block devices. For the first track of the session it can be performed on any type of source if there is a fifo of at least 64 kiB. See option fs= ." > The DVD was perfectly readable under OSX. It remains an open question whether the problems with the wodim DVD+R are bound to the drive or to the operating system. Well, if you ever can boot that OSX hardware under Linux ... :)) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
