Could it be the file size too large or the path limit being reached?
what about burning a single small size file.
File size doesn't seem to matter. It seems to be a case of the last files written fail - almost as
if anything past 1 GB doesn't work (the total usage is 1.2G)
The tiff files are about 30-50 Mb, the jpgs are about 100Kb, but I've tried different directory
sequence and it's always the last written that seem to fail. I've also tried with NO directories
with no luck.
Also I've got a DVD burner that is faulty. It burns CDs ok but always
fails on DVDs. So try burning a single file to a CD.
Have you got any rewritable CDs and DVDs. Saves burning coasters while
experimenting.

Good point about the rewritables... I've made 5 coasters so far - I'll have a
caterer's set soon.
A single file to a CD wrote no problem. But it seems odd that BOTH burners have decided to fail.
That seems a stretch. The burners are different brands and different buses.

I sent this message a couple of days ago,but I've now installed K3B
with the same result. I've got two burners on the computer, one
connected by firewire, the other internal (pata?) and it makes no
difference which I use.
I'm burning a DVD with about 1.2gig of tif and jpg files. Brasero or
K3B both proceed to completion. When I insert the DVD, some of the
files (images) give this error when double clicked:
<Error reading from file: Input/output error>

Some files have burned correctly and read correctly. The good files
are sequential and the dud files are logically at the end of the
directory, which I presume means they are physically at the end of the
directory.
In the meantime, I've successfully burned a very short audio CD using
K3B, for what that's worth.
I can't find anything on google about this, except some vague
suggestion about hardware, but since there are two completely
different burners, I didn't think that was likely to be the problem.
Any suggestions?
thanks
David.
