| What CD/DVD software is likely to work for burning 4GB data filesto DVD? What CD/DVD software is likely to work for burning 4 GB data files to DVD? I have a new HP Pavilion PC with a single layer 8X DVD burner. The software that came with the PC is RecordNow 7.1, which successfully burns small files at 8X, but when burning a single 4.0 GB file, the verify option shows an error half way through. Attempting to copy the file back to the hard drive also produces an error at the same point. Running "FSUM.exe" also aborts and shows the file size as only 2 GB. I use Memorex 8x 4.7GB 120 min DVD+R. I've checked HP’s web site for firmware updates to the DVD burner; there are none. The burner shows up in software as a NEC ND-2100AD. It burns DVD movies with no problem. The basic problem is burning 4.0 GB files. I tried using Nero, but keep getting the Power Calibration Error before any data is written to disk. I tried turning off XP’s CD IMAPI services, as suggested. No joy. After ruining about 8 disks in a row, I tried CopyToDVD, and lo and behold, it WORKED! Unfortunately, there is no verify option in CopyToDVD, so I had to use FSUM.exe to verify the 4 GB file was identical to the source file. My issue now is that if I want to verify a burned DVD that has many files, using FSUM.exe instead of a verify option in the burner software is not a reasonable alternative. Is there another burner package I can try that might work well to burn large (4 GB) files to DVD? I don't mind paying up to $50 for a package, and am glad I gave Nero a test drive before finding that it wouldn't work on my system. It seems as though correctly copying large files requires the inclusion of a feature for UDF 1.02 support, which CopyToDVD has, and which I enabled . What other s/w has that feature? I've read lots of negative stuff about Roxio's s/w so not sure I want to install that one… David |
