Hi, > xorriso : FAILURE : -as genisofs: Unsupported option '-udf' > It appears that xorriso does not support -udt. Indeed, xorriso does ISO 9660, not UDF. Ain't there any way to disable this feature in K3B ? Two possible remedies by xorriso come to me: --

Your solution worked perfectly. I was able to burn the previous 'too many directories' with no problems. Your instructions were appreciated. Thank You. unfortunately, When I tried to complete the remaining full system burn, I received the following error log, Devices --- HL-D

Hi, let's try whether all fleas have been caught. Here is the procedure: Create a new directory (for easy removal) and go into it: mkdir $HOME/xorriso_dir cd $HOME/xorriso_dir Download the new GNU xorriso development tarball and put it into that new directory. E.g. by some web browser or by

Hi, i will make it README-grade and answer questions. :)) Only assuming that you know how to execute shell command lines and install package "build-essential". ("valgrind" and "gdb" if we run into deep riddles.) Meanwhile i embarassingly discovered that there are two deviations from mkisofs habit

No problem. Glad to help. A few words of caution. While I am very familiar with the theory behind making an executable, I have only done it in practice two or three times over the last several years and that was following written instructions in the README file. I am now back at my machine so I c

Hi, the problem with "\=" is embarrasingly an omission of mine. The mkisofs emulator of xorriso inspects file addresses ("pathspecs") for this gesture only if given as program arguments, but not if given by mkisofs option -path-list. I will now develop a solution and make some comparisons to th

Thank You for the speedy reply. I appreciate it. Bottom line is nothing I tried that you suggested worked. I tried xfburn prior to this bug report. The available disk sizes does not include BD. It stops at DVD-DL or my latest copy from Ubuntu stops at DVD-DL. I first renamed genisoimage and copi

Hi, the error message rather stems from genisoimage (or mkisofs) which works underneath K3B and also underneath growisofs if used like in the man page example growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/files The number 65535 is a limit of the "Path Table", an antique structure which records all directo
