[Bug 205919] Re: Brasero and nautilus-cd-burner cannot burn 4GiB file to DVD

[Brian Pitts]

BraseroGrowisofs stdout: Executing 'genisoimage -r -J -iso-level 3 -udf -input-charset utf8 -graft-points -D -path-list /tmp/brasero_tmp_9HOO9T -exclude-list /tmp/brasero_tmp_1UMQ9T -print-size | builtin_dd of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0'
BraseroGrowisofs stderr: -allow-limited-size was not specified. There is no way do represent this file size. Aborting.

Brasero is using UDF, but genisoimage can't create an image that is only
udf. The solution to this bug is in the log; Brasero needs to use the
-allow-limited-size option of genisoimage when there are files greater
than 2GiB. This is what K3B does.

>From the man page:

-allow-limited-size
              When processing files larger than 2GiB which  cannot  be  easily
              represented in ISO9660, add them with a shrunk visible file size
              to ISO9660 and with the correct visible file  size  to  the  UDF
              system.  The result is an inconsistent filesystem and users need
              to make sure that they really use UDF rather than ISO9660 driver
              to read a such disk. Implies enabling -udf.

 -udf   Include UDF  filesystem  support  in  the  generated  filesystem
              image.   UDF  support  is currently in alpha status and for this
              reason, it is not possible to create UDF-only images.  UDF  data
              structures  are  currently  coupled to the Joliet structures, so
              there are many pitfalls with the current  implementation.  There
              is  no  UID/GID  support,  there is no POSIX permission support,
              there is no support for symlinks.   Note  that  UDF  wastes  the
              space from sector ~20 to sector 256 at the beginning of the disc
              in addition to the space needed for real UDF data structures.
