However, I found a problem with one file that casts some doubt on the whole process. The file is named img_0185-6x4crop.jpg and is 3,309,906 bytes. On the hard drive, it reads fine. The filename is present on the DVD, but the file always gives a read error: # file img_0185-6x4crop.jpg img_0185-6x4crop.jpg: ERROR: cannot read `img_0185-6x4crop.jpg' (Input/output error) It's not a one-time error; every DVD always has the same problem. What is going wrong? A poison filename? -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
