mkisofs supports "large files" since 2001, but it did not support multi-extent files and for this reason, it needed to limit the file size to 4 GB.
As DVDs are 4.3 GB, this was not a big problem before. Now that cdrecord introduced Blu Ray support, the long planned multi-extent support was implemented. mkisofs-2.01.01a32 adds support for files > 4 GB. Cdrtools-2.01.01a32 will be published early next week, most likely on Monday, 30th July 2007 See http://cdrecord.berlios.de/ Note that due to a Linux kernel bug, you will currently not be able to read the complete content of multi-extent files on Linux. -- mkisofs can't handle files over 2^32 bytes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30033 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
