K3b/wodim with >4GB file + DL DVD-R finish successfully but files corrupted [SOLVED, sort of] Dec 9th 2012, 13:09 openSUSE 11.4, KDE 4.8.5, K3b 2.0.2 Three attempts to burn one file of 4.4 GB and another of 5.5 GB in DL DVD-R (not on the same disk, of course), completes *and* verify OK in K3b but the files - including smaller ones (a few KB each) are unreadable. For example, a text file comes out like this: SUSE Paste I've burned DL disks before, but AFAIR not with >4GB files, so I believe this is a file size issue with the recording app, as recording files 4GB or less works flawlessly. This was tested with two different brand drives at the minimum record speed (4x), and both gave the same results. Eventually, after making a nice set of coasters for my wife, I was able to record the 5.5 GB file successfully after changing from wodim from the standard repo to cdrecord from the multimidia:apps repo. There's a ugly discussion on the 2006 move from cdrecord to wodim due to licensing issues, but I won't go into that. Also, there's a bug report of this somewhere (linked from a *ubuntu forum), but it's old and there's no workaround given. I'm posting this in case it may help someone. YMMV.
