I recently ran into a big problem (for me) with pBurn
I am using pburn version 3.4.2 running on Puppy Lucid.The problem manifested itself when trying to burn to a bluray disc. After selecting all the files to burn and hitting the burn gadget, the splashbox ("checking media..." and "building burn command..." messages) would appear and would not go away
I could see that the main pBurn GUI would update, but nothing else happens after this.After some intense debugging contortions, I isolated the issue to the func_burn_options file at line 170 where you are checking the media disc space and just entered the case statement. I believe you are using the MKISOFS command to get a target size, but this command fails if a selected file is greater than 4Gb! Simply adding some udf options to MKISOFS will let it work for those large files!
I came up with a potential solution by adding a simple if test and another variable to be used in the MKISOFS command:
<OLD CODE BEGIN>
case $MEDIASIZE_FREE in *[0-9]*)
TMP="`$MKISOFS -iso-level 3 -D -R -J -joliet-long --print-size -exclude-list $WORKDIR/exclude -graft-points -path-list=$WORKDIR/graft_points | tail -n 1`"
ISOSIZE=$(($TMP*2048))
<OLD CODE END>
<NEW CODE BEGIN>
case $MEDIASIZE_FREE in *[0-9]*)
# 111227 EdV: need options to handle filesizes -gt 4Gb!
if [ "$UDF" = "true" ]; then
UDF_OPTS="-udf -allow-limited-size"
else
UDF_OPTS=""
fi
TMP="`$MKISOFS -iso-level 3 -D -R -J -joliet-long $UDF_OPTS --print-size -exclude-list $WORKDIR/exclude -graft-points -path-list=$WORKDIR/graft_points | tail -n 1`"
ISOSIZE=$(($TMP*2048))
<NEW CODE END>
This worked great and I was able to burn my bluray disc
Unfortunately, this solution only works if you select the udf filesystem before one tries to burn any selected files! If you do not select the udf filesystem and try to burn with any file greater than 4Gb -- pBurn will hang.
To avoid the problem without the udf filesystem being selected, I am thinking that maybe a check needs to be performed when files are selected to burn which checks filesize and if greater than 4Gb without udf selected, a warning message comes up. This has to happen before one hits the burn gadget or it will be too late and pBurn will lock up. I do not have a solution for this yet, but maybe you can figure one out before I can even guess where you collect filesizes during the add file process...
As always, thanks for a great script!
