sneaker Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Hi, I burned some files in Build Mode (ISO 9660 + Joliet) and everything seemed to have worked fine. But as I tried to copy these files back onto a HD it didn't work. Turns out that these files where too big (2147483648 bytes) for the ISO 9660 + Joliet filesystem and I should have burned them with UDF. It would be nice if ImgBurn would warn the user about files that are too big for the chosen filesystem instead of producing coasters. P.S.: Keep up the good work!
sneaker Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 It usually warns when building At least for me it doesn't. Maybe I'm missing something in the settings? I just tried it again. A single file, 2147483648 bytes big. ISO 9660 + Joliet. While Nero correctly says that it is too big, I am able to burn it in Build Mode with ImgBurn. (Direct burn, not writing an image) Here's the log: I 14:56:16 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

sneaker Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 Ok, just found a thread where this "issue" is already discussed. Very weird. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=3270 But a warning about files over 2 GB in ISO 9660 would still be nice.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Yeah but it's not required as ImgBurn supports files upto 4GB in size within those file systems - as do all versions of windows from (and including) Windows 95.
sneaker Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 That's true, but although I'm burning on Windows the DVDs might have to be read on Macintosh. But I guess I can (and pretty much have to... ) live with how it is now. In the beginning I thought that ImgBurn made an error when in fact it didn't. (Read something about a limit in google and got an error adding those big files in Nero.)
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Does the Mac not support UDF? You wouldn't have a problem if it does as I'm sure it would use that FS instead of the ISO9660 / Joliet ones that might also be present on the disc. Are you sure the 4GB files are what's causing the problem anyway?
sneaker Posted December 5, 2007 Author Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) I'm pretty sure Mac does support UDF. That's why I said I can live with it. I burned those files for a friend who has a Mac and he said he couldn't copy them. Then I tried copying them on Windows and it didn't work either. But now I can't reproduce the problem. The discs burned with ImgBurn and ISO 9660 + Joliet work just fine on Windows. Must have been a coincidence and it weren't the big files. Damn, I guess ImgBurn doesn't have any bugs at all?!

blutach Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 It should almost be a rule these days. Check the UDF FS. I mean, how does it hurt? Regards
