mkisofs - how to add 32k padding option

[Carpo]

im a n00b to linux - have been using slackware for a little while and after reading the faq i know how to make an dvd iso

mkisofs -dvd-video -V MY_VOLNAME -o dvdvideo.iso /path/to/video/

but how do i add the 32k padding option - i have googled and searched here but not found anything that a n00b could understand :/

You shouldn't need any additional options if using the -dvd-video switch, this should produce a perfectly compliant DVD.

If you're looking to use the switch for another reason, check out the man page for mkisofs. There are also a number of threads about mkisofs in the burning forum.

only reason i ask is becuase of what i read here http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgcedit/third_party/blutach/Burning%20With%20PgcEdit.htm

but i'll do as you suggest and look in the burning section

32kb padding needs ifo adjustment. No way that you can do it with mkisofs (unless somebody implements it of course).

You have to use PGCEdit to add the 32k padding. Then have PGCEdit create the image using mkisofs.

There is a Linux version of PGCEdit.

That's not really needed. You may modify the IFOs with PgcEdit, and use the command line or any mkisofs frontend to create the ISO or pipe the mkisofs output to burn directly the DVD.
If you do so, be sure to remove the PgcEdit_backup directory from VIDEO_TS, or use the -m option to exclude it. Mkisofs is not smart enough to detect and remove it automatically.
