Help with hybrid CD
Hello friends! I am looking for some help creating a hybrid iso image. I have to produce a CD for a conference containing course notes in PostScript and PDF files. I succeeded in making the CD autostart on Apple (9.X) using the -auto option. Unfortunately the file types of the PostScript and PDF files are not recognized on the apple. Pressing Apple-i I get as file type "file" or something, while on a `normal' pdf file (not from the CD) I get in the information window `Adobe Exchange File' or something similar. I thought it would be enough to use th option -probe for getting the file types right, but I think this was a misunderstanding on my side. I create the CD with: mkisofs -V ESSLLI03 -hfs-volid ESSLLI03 -probe -o esslli.iso \ -f -r -J -auto index.html -hfs ESSLLI-CD Hoping to get some suggestions to improve/fix this error! Best wishes and thanks a lot for any comments/hints/fixes Norbert --- Norbert Preining Technische Universität Wien gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 --- LINDISFARNE (adj.)

Re: dvd+rw-tools problems

I mean it manual re-load should be necessary. What kernel/distribution did you experience this problem with? A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The unit must be Ricoh MP5125A clone. Even though 1.51 adds support for
4xDVD+R media, Ricoh has released even further update 1.64 improving "4x
write quality." All vendors keep up with Ricoh releases (well, they
basically change the INQUIRY string) and you should be advised to ask
Memorex for firmware version 1.64. Meanwhile you should try 2.4xDVD+R
media. Then as it's a Ricoh clone dvd+rw-booktype might work with your
unit. See "Caompatibility: caveat lector" on dvd+rw-tools page for
further details. A.

Gentoo apparently applies http://kernel.kolivas.net/ patch-set which used to incorporate DVD+RW kernel patch... In general I can't recommend it as it includes "variable HZ" and "supermount" patches, both potentially interfering with dvd+rw-tools. "Supermount" can ruin your recordings, "variable HZ" screws up time-outs. A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A. thanks andy. i wrote memorex this morning, and incredibly, they've already written back. they say they are currently 'evaluating' the 1.64 release, and it will be released 'in a couple weeks'. jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
