Hi, > i guess i just want to be able to burn data disks with big files on it
Should be no problem in ISO 9660 format. xorriso can do. From http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/man_1_xorriso.html#EXAMPLES "Blank media and compose a new ISO image as batch run" $ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr2 \ -blank as_needed \ -map /home/me/sounds /sounds \ -map /home/me/pictures /pictures If the files are larger than 4 GB then you have to test whether your kernel can correctly read the contnet of a file with an _odd_ number of bytes > 4 GB. E.g. 5000000001 bytes. (This is the most subtle known bug. Others show just boldly truncated files.) Do not trust ls -l. Run diff or md5sum. xorriso can restore such large files. So it dares to allow them unconditionally. > Regarding Unicode: I am native russian speaker, so > utf-8 is kinda big deal for me. Normally you get as file names in a Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 image the same byte strings as on the originating hard disk. So on the same computer you should see the same characters on disk and in ISO image. If your filesystem system was e.g. used with ISO8859-1 character set, then you could order conversion by xorriso option -out_charset UTF-8 to create an image which suits an environment where UTF-8 is expected. My own terminal tells its charset by $ locale charmap > I always attempt to use UDF in burning > drives anywaym because of file size. Well, UDF is currently not in xorriso's repertoire. You'll have to check out mkisofs or look for direct UDF read-write support in the Linux kernel. The latter should work with BD-RE but rather not with BD-R. (I only know what i read in texts like /usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/filesystems/udf.txt http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/udf.txt ) > That error message about low dma speed could come from xorriso I don't think so. (Obviously i am missing a part of this conversation but i am not aware that xorriso or its underlying libraries would know anything about DMA.)
