Running 9.0 - 9.2 I burnt DVD's and CD's without issue using k3b - which is a gui frontend to the cli tools. Max file size is dependant on the filesystem not the disk, I think UDF is normally used for Blu Ray so will support files over 2GB. After those emails I tried burning a BD-R and failed, I think it was buffer underrun. I have 8GB RAM and was using zfs on a single disc at the time so more RAM may help. The disc was recognised as BD-R all started fine just didn't complete. I would have been running 9.1 at the time - over a year ago. I have recently upgraded to 10.1 but haven't burnt any disks yet. BD-R prices are down to a couple of dollars a disk so may be time to try again. -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Software Developing Shane Ambler
