Re: 4.7 GB Gutsy Gibbon DVD Image won't fit on my 4.4 GB DVD Rom

Somewhere in your burn toolkit there _should_ be a simple "burn

It's there, but it's burried and called something totaly weird, some
Windows doublespeak crap. It's not in any of the normal burn menus. Last
time I had to use Roxio, I was reduced to a gibbering screaming maniac
before I found the !@#$%^&* option.

k3b is *so* much nicer.

I'd say that's some of the problem. The original poster is using software
that I sure don't have, so what should be a simple thing, just looking
at what's available, isn't an option for me, and likely others too.

If it was a Linux utility for writing to DVD, all kinds of people
here could provide the exact bit because they are using it. Even those
who haven't used it likely could offer up the solution, because
it would be an opportunity to give it a try. If he was asking about
doing it in Linux, I'd finally buy some blank DVDs and give it a try,
not yet having had a reason to make a DVD since I got the capacity
to write to DVDs a few months ago.


WHich I realize boils down to how this isn't really a linux issue,
and the poster likely could get the answer wherever they are talking
about that particular bit of Windows software. Simply because wherever
they are talking about it, the "experts" will be.
