This patch has not yet been accepted by the author but it should work for you. Summary of changes: - Burns the correct number of discs (needed a disc_num - 1 because lists start at 0, not 1) - Now defaults to not spewing all the file names, use -v or --verbose if you want to see it. - Spits out how many files will be written to each disk - "--test" redirects device to /dev/null, but still goes through all the motions including generating the iso files. If you've already burned your files, just burn disc 1 over since that's the one it was skipping. Let me know if you have any issues. Thanks, Richard
