Re: [Dvdrtools-users] Pioneer A03 problems

You need to run mkisofs in a quasi dummy mode to get the total size of 
the iso before feeding it into dvdrecord.  When running in 'dao' mode if 
you pipe from stdout then dvdrecord doesn't know what the size of the 
iso is.  

Here's an excerpt from the dvdrecord man page:
---------------------
In Disk at Once mode and with some drives that  use
             the  TEAC  programming  interface, even in Track at
             Once mode, dvdrecord needs to know the size of each
             track  before starting to write the disk.  Cdrecord
             now checks  this  and  aborts  before  starting  to
             write.   If  this  happens  you  will  need  to run
             mkisofs -print-size before and use the output as an
             argument to the tsize= option of dvdrecord.
---------------------

Look over dvdrecord to see some possible command examples.  I've also 
done web searches and found folks who've created some nice shell scripts 
to help with this.
