DVD Span FAQ

 

What versions of Windows are supported?

All versions of Windows that support UNICODE (WinNT, Win2K, Win2K3, WinXP, VISTA, 7,  etc.), both 32Bit and 64Bit versions.

 

mkisofs: No such file or directory. Invalid node

When making an ISO file I get this error:  mkisofs: No such file or directory. Invalid node This is likely due to trying to write a very long file name to the disk. To create a disk with this length file name you need to make a UDF formatted disk, using InfraRecorder.

 

When making an ISO file I get this warning...

When making  a 1999 ISO, you will get the following warning message which you can safely ignore: Warning: Creating ISO-9660:1999 (version 2) filesystem. Warning: ISO-9660 filenames longer than 31 may cause buffer overflows in the OS. What this means: MS-DOS may have difficulty reading this disk. All other OSes (including all versions of Windows) will have no problem at all. When making a Joliet ISO, you will get the following warning message, which you can safely ignore: Warning: creating filesystem with (nonstandard) Joliet extensions but without (standard) Rock Ridge extensions. It is highly recommended to add Rock Ridge. What this means: Joliet allows long file names and is the standard CDR/DVDR format under Windows. It is also supported by the MAC and Unix/Linux. Rock Ridge is only supported under Unix/Linux. Thus, adding Rock Ridge to the disk would not really improve it (other than allowing longer file names which would only be read under Unix/Linux).
