[K3b-user] DVD project write error on BIG files

[Jonathan K. <jdk...@ya...>]

Hi Seb,
Thanks as always for your outstanding work. I've just compiled rc5 and
still have a problem with big files > 800MB (I guess). I'm running K3b
1.0rc5 (but the same problem existed in rc4) on a Debian Etch box
(2.6.18). I open a DVD project and try to copy a 1.4GB file using "no
multisession" and about 2/3 into the burn I get a write error (see
below). I take the same (avi) file and split it into 2 ~~700MB chunks
and there is no problem. Here is the output running K3b from console:
