Question about mkisofs

[^JazzMan^]

I usualy burn my DVD's through pgcedit, enabling 32K space gaps, Ive noticed that latest version of mkisofs that is available is 2.01(a part from ImgTool Classic), however I wanted to see what was DVD-RB using for ISO creation, first thing I've noticed was a difference of the filesize of mkisofs with the one I use with pgcedit

I've checked the versions in DOS mode and I got:

mkisofs, a part from ImgTool Classic v0.91.7

mkisofs 2.01 X (i686-pc-cygwin)



mkisofs, a part from DVD Rebuilder Pro 1.09.3 package

mkisofs 2.01 (i686-pc-cygwin)

Does anyone know whats the difference between these two releases, how it affects functionality, etc.

Cheers

Hmm... I'm not aware of the differences. But, you can enable the 32k gaps in DVD-RB as well. That might be the difference in size.

I ment the difference of the size of mkisofs.exe , the one from ImgTool Classic is 216KB, and the other one from DVD-RB is 510KB ;)

By the way, how to you enable 32K gaps in DVD-RB? I don't see that kind of option in 'ISO output options'

You can set "Enable_32K_Padding=1" in the "[Options]" area. The reason it isn't on by default is that there are some burning packages (e.g. Nero) that just get confused and (quite on its own) decides to "fix it" and create a coaster. I always recommend burning with ImgBurn.

@JazzMan - the mkisofs you might be using might be version that is for windows (as opposed to the cross platformed one - it was originally a linux app IIRC).
