Re: K3b-user Digest, Vol 19, Issue 7

Hey guys, thanks for your responses, but still no luck :(

The file is 4.4 due to rounding yes, and it is 4,696,188,868 exactly, so
4.6gb. However I put in a blank dual-layer disc and it still gave the same
error.

- I changed my temp directory to /home/user/.k3btemp, and I have 13gb free.
- I went to the properties of the current project and changed the Filesystem
to "UDF (Very Large Files)."

I still cannot even add the file to the project, it refuses-- same error
that it is over 4gb. Hence I cannot get to the burn dialogue.

I am using a Lite-ON DVD-RW on which I have burnt hundreds of DVDs, single
and dual layer with k3b, no problems at all. I hope there is a way? :)

Thanks,
Bobby
