GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 361522
nautilus-cd-burner doesn't report failure due to large file sizes
Last modified: 2009-07-29 10:46:18 UTC
Reported in rh bugzilla at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210280 Description of problem: nautilus-cd-burner doesn't feedback to the user when a file isn't included because it is too large - if the only file being burnt is too large, a blank DVD is "inexplicably" burnt. Indeed, given this apparent limitation in growisofs/mkisofs, nautilus-cd-burner should check for overly large files before burning. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nautilus-cd-burner-2.14.3-1.fc5 dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-6.2.1 How reproducible: Always When I try to burn the 4.2GB file directly with growisofs, I get the following: # growisofs -dry-run -Z /dev/dvdwriter moog_backupdir-20061010.tar Executing 'mkisofs moog_backupdir-20061010.tar | builtin_dd of=/dev/dvdwriter obs=32k seek=0' INFO: UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings. Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem, use -input-charset to override. mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File moog_backupdir-20061010.tar is too large - ignoring Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 0 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Passing -udf doesn't help.

From bug #485330: Opened by Bastien Nocera: UDF allows for burning files bigger than 4GB while keeping the files readable by all OSes. The work-around is explained at the bottom of: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/
nautilus-cd-burner has been replaced by Brasero in the GNOME 2.26 release. If your bug still applies to Brasero, please feel free to re-open the bug, and reassign it to brasero itself.
