Hi,
I wonder if there is a way to burn a file that is slightly too big. E.g.
putting a file of 710MB on a 700MB cd.
The last 10MB being lost by this operation would not bother me too much
as it's a divx.
I have not found a way to do this with k3b... is there maybe a way using
cdrecord directly?
Thanks and regards,
Yves

If you can't cut off the trailer or whatever in some video editing
software, how about just using "head" to get the first 700MB and
burn the result? I have no idea though how player software would
take this...

Bad idea. Really bad idea. Divx files contain an important data
structure at the end of the file (an index of the data blocks).
Without this data, you will not be able to seek in the video.
Some software video players will be able to re-index the file but this
takes a lot of time. I don't know if hardware players will even
be able to play the file.
You should try to overburn the CD, an additional 10MB of data should
fit on it without problems. In K3b, go to: Settings->Configure K3b,
Select the "Advanced" tab in the "Writing" section, and check the
"Allow overburning" option.
Alternatively, cut part of the video with a video editor. I don't
know any good ones for Linux, but you could try virtualdub on Windows.
It might even work with Wine.
As another alternative, get a DVD burner.

Christian Glodt

Thanks! It's great that a Gnome user actually knows KDE software better

This is what I will probably do...
