#2 No extensive directory check

[Anonymous]

I spoke with the creator of this script with an error that I had and he summed it up as a directory issue. I had a file that was at least 7 directories deep. The max is 6. It would be beneficial for us novice users to have a check system to save us from ourselves. After the error the programs shuts down with no means of starting from where it left off. A check script and an option to correct it would save some time and frustration.

It is possible to get round that by using the -D option to mkisofs, from the man page:

"-D
Do not use deep directory relocation, and instead just pack them in the way we see them.
If ISO9660:1999 has not been selected, this violates the ISO9660 standard, but it happens to work on many systems. Use with caution. "

you can add the option on line 134 (ish - doing a search for the word luke gets you there) of discspan.py:

" -l -r -D -hide-rr-moved -J -joliet-long" \

instead of the existing

" -l -r -hide-rr-moved -J -joliet-long" \

Need to test that it works and is readable on any OS you are going to be using the DVDs with.

Version 0.2.2 has a --test option which should do the trick. Reopen this bug if you still have a problem.
