Problem: Creating iso with 2 different versions of mkisofs.exe

[Electric_Soul]

Hello

I try to create an iso from a dvd(VIDEOS_TS + AUDIO_TS structure)

Now I have two versions of mkisofs.exe.

1. mkisofs 2.01a20 X (i686-pc-cygwin)
I got this version from the dvdauthorgui installation directory

2. mkisofs 2.01 (i686-pc-cygwin)
From the cdrtools package.


This is the command I use to create an iso image.
"c:\Program Files\DVDAuthorGUI\bin\mkisofs.exe" -dvd-video -V "kathi" -udf -o "F:\Tv-Records_Fini\burn\dvd\kathi.iso" "h:\dvd\"

Everything is fine when using version No.1 but when using No.2 I get the following error /cygdrive/d/Download/encoding/cdrtools/mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.


Why ??

I know you want an answer about mkisofs, but have you considered ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com)?

Hello

I use it too, but I like batch processing, so mkisofs.exe is far more versatile :)

mkisofs.exe was developed for UNIX.
Cygwin is the UNIX-API for Windows.
So you should not use characters like "_" in path.

Sourcecode is open and someone has patched the original to a20 for Win compatibility.

Hello

Tried this now, but still the same.

"d:\Download\encoding\cdrtools\mkisofs.exe" -dvd-video -V "kathi" -udf -o "F:\kathi.iso" "h:\dvd\"


That one still works

"c:\Program Files\DVDAuthorGUI\bin\mkisofs.exe" -dvd-video -V "kathi" -udf -o "F:\kathi.iso" "h:\dvd\"

But thank you for the hint, because I am installing ubuntu :)

BTW, there is also a version of mkisofs that doesn't need cygwin1.dll, and is supposed to be more rapid, but apparently the site is now down. You can perhaps still find it somewhere.

Here is one version

Doesn't work with that one either.
Error: mkisofs: Unable to make a DVD-Video image.
this is annoying :)


But thanks for the hint.

I could upload the DVD if someone wants to try for himself. I'd be happy :)
