Hi all, I need help with the command for burning DVDs on Fedora Core. After struggling for a while, I now have 3 lovely coasters and I am down to my last 3 DVD discs, so I am hoping to get this right within 3 tries. First, a little background: I'm trying to transfer the data contents (not movies or music) of 2 directories, containing rsync'ed extras and updates for FC5 to DVD so I can bring it to Hong Kong to prepare a server there. Here's what I did: 1. First, I made an ISO file: $ mkisofs -v -l -r -max-iso9660-filenames -no-bak -o updates.iso /tmp/x86_64 2. Next, I mount it loopback and check, and the filenames look OK to me. $ sudo mount -o loop updates.iso /mnt/tempimage 3. Then I burn to DVD with this command: $ sudo growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=updates.iso Here's the problem: when I read the resulting DVD in Windows, I get all the filenames in uppercase, and some are conflated. When I read the DVD in Linux, it looks right too, but when I try to copy the files to the hard disk, I get "Input/output errors" for some files. I suspect it could be because the filenames are too long. So here's my question: could somebody give me the correct syntax for burning the files to DVD using growisofs? I would prefer not to use the graphical tools, because I will need to use the same command for backup to DVDs in future.
