You're right that this msg is not perfect, but remember that a iso is not always meant for a bootable disc. Could we improve it without going into the bootable...

Hi zigbert

Can you provide a small screen version layout of pburn interface which can fit 640x480 resolution? or provide pburn interface which is similar to Nero Express? thank you

There are already many apps in Puppy that extends 480x640 pixels. If I got it right, we try to support 800x600, and this is what pBurn is built around.

I suggest you try peasyDisc, which has a smaller gui.

Using the ALT key to move the window should work.

Hi Zigbert,

I tried to add a .pdf file to a DVD I'd just burned with Pburn (leaving the DVD open so I could add more to it) and got an error. First I burned the LinuxMint iso (the iso was in flash drive sdc1.) That went well, but when I tried to add the User Guide .pdf to the DVD, it gave the error message in the screen shot.

Hi Flash
Your system has set cdrecord to be a link from genisoimage (from the cdrkit pack). This is a bad choice when burning more complex stuff. In fact, pBurn has stopped supporting cdrkit from version 4. Some configurations will fail to burn. It is hard for me to help out when forcing use of a unsupported backend

Is there any way I can put it right?

pBurn relies on cdrtools-3 (not cdrkit). Does Quirky offer this package in its repository?

Evidently not.

Sorry for not being clear enough...
cdrtools is the name of the package - not the binary - that is cdrecord.
Barry has made a link with the name 'cdrecord' that points to genisofs (binary in the cdrkit package).

You'll have to install the cdrtools package. The way pBurn writes filesystem (compatible with Windows) to the disc depends on version 3 of cdrtools.

Hm. Well, I couldn't find cdrtools anywhere in the package manager but it looks like Quirky Werewolf already has cdrecord:

Here is a cdrtools 3 pet package from Tahrpup repository.
Could try it.

Thanks, I'll try it, but if it still uses genisoimage, it will probably give the same error.

I'm thinking the problem is not in pBurn (or PeasyDisk, which I also tried and which also gave the same error) but is a basic limitation of genisoimage. It can't handle more than 255 files on the disk. I don't know how many files are in Linux Mint, but there could be more than 255. If that's the reason, why didn't genisoimage give the same error when it burned the Linux Mint iso?

Dear all,

After searching this forum, I still cant find an answer to (what seems to be) a very simple bug when burning an audio CD under Tahrpup 6.0.6. It works fine under Slacko, but it is annoying having to reboot just to burn a few CDs.

To answer the the first questions that will no doubt be asked:

Yes, the temp directory has full rights.
Yes, the temp files get written there (
Yes, I've got enough temp space (6.5Gb)

But, the files that CDRECORD appears to be looking for, begin with *_pburn.wav, whereas the temp files that are written are [filename].[extension]

Please can you help.

Thanks in advance

Pete...

Hi SoftSupp
My first thought is:
I think Tahr ships libav instead of ffmpeg, and links libav to ffmpeg. This misleads pBurn to detect ffmpeg where it actually not exists... This might be the reason for the converting of audio files to fail.

Slacko ships the real ffmpeg.
