I've been trying to get mkisofs to create a DVD image for me on my = FreeBSD (5.3) machine, in order to be able to burn it on Nero (Windows = 2000). The utility does create an ISO image rather quickly, however when = I open it with Nero, the program refuses to recognize it as a DVD image, = despite the size being way over 700 MB. Here's script snipped I am using = to do it. if mkisofs -V $1 -o ~/backup/$1.iso -R -J ~/mydata then echo "$1.iso was created successfully at " `date` else echo "mkisofs failed to create an ISO image!" fi Does anyone know whether there is a way to force mkisofs to create a DVD = image or a different utility. Any input would be appreciated. Michael
