Hello to one and all, I am trying to copy a SuSE 8.2 DVD. I find that all of a sudden some dvd drives will not read the disk. I have a Ricoh 5125a dvd burner but even under Windows i cannot copy the dvd to another dvd+R disk. using dd and adding to a vfat mounted data drive i am getting to 2gb then the system stops with the message 'file size limit exceeded'. Is this a Linux thing or a Windows limit. (win98se) The software that came with the dvd burner seems more geared up to video copying than data burning. B's dvd burning software does not seem to be all that good either. it will only do single drive copies of dvd's but even then it is not sucessful.
The burner is +r/rw and the software is version 1.64. Has anyone out there in the wild blue yonder burnt a +r/rw dvd with any sucess? Under Windows or Linux? I did have a reply to my last e-mail but i have lost it so, to whom it may concern many thanks but the suggested action did not work. I down loaded the DVD+R/RW source files but they would not compile. Any other help would be greatfully recieved. I have tried some dvd burner software from the UK mag Linux Format May 2003. that also dies with a message that a media size greater than 100 mins cannot be handled. I am getting desperate even having had the dvd only a few days!!!! TIA Gerald -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
