Does PBurn have the capability to add a file/folder to the root of a multi-session DVD/CD?

If so, is there any instructions for doing so?

Thanks in advance

Hi gcmartin,

Re: PBurn. Yes, Does right clicking your choice(s) in the left hand pane work for you?

Alternatively, it may suit some users to put their folder(s)/file(s) in the archive directory and save immediately to the DVD/CD (because it may be easier to recover if anything were to go wrong) or on rebooting/closure.

My regards

I just used Pburn to add a 1 GB directory full of pictures to the multisession Blu-Ray BD-RE I'm running Puppy from at the moment. When I rebooted, Puppy loaded just as always. After Puppy finished loading I clicked on the sr0 disk icon on the desktop to mount the multisession Puppy BD-RE disk in ROX. Everything was there as usual, plus the new "Pictures" directory I'd just added.

I can even add more pictures to the directory, by adding yet more "Pictures" directories to the BD-RE. When the disk is mounted in ROX, ROX only shows one "Pictures" directory, with the contents of all the "Pictures" directories on the BD-RE in it. IIRC, Windows Explorer does the same thing.

Super cool.

There is probably some more information I should have included in my post.

Scenario
Let's suppose I have booted my multi-session Puppy DVD that was originally setup using PBurn. Now I have (using @Flash's example), a folder of pics that I want to add, directly, to the existing booted mediathat is in the DVD.

Questions

1. Can PBurn be used to do this?
2. Is there PBurn instructions to add a folder to the existing DVD?

Thanks in advance for any assistance

[Flash]

1. Yes.
2. The instructions are in my post.

Don't mount the DVD, just open Pburn, navigate to the folder you want to add, click the + sign in Pburn's right pane (the folder should be all that's in Pburn's right pane,) then click Burn, telling Pburn to make it a multisession burn.

That's it. Try it with a rewritable DVD if you don't believe me. It even works with a multisession Puppy DVD that was created with Burniso2cd..

Yesterday I downloaded the Knoppix 7.0.4 LiveDVD iso, in the hope of finding support for my recently acquired 64GB SDXC flash card, which is inaccessible in both LupuPlus and Knoppix 7.0.2, (in Lupu it is invisible, in Knoppix, it is shown, but can’t be mounted).

After successfully testing the 3.8GB iso’s md5sum, I placed an Imation DVD-RW/4X disk in the system’s burner and opened Pburn 3.7.4. The response was:

How old are these DVD burners you're using?

Hi Sigmund,
I've just downloaded Pburn 3.7.5 and the latest pfind and pfilesearch and none of them will install or untar. I've tried in Racy, Slacko and Dpup with pfix=ram, etc. and no luck. Other non-Ziggy .pets I have just downloaded are OK. Is it me or is something sinister going on?

Thanks, J

[jrb]

Its me again. Turns out I was getting incomplete downloads, and didn't think to check file size. I'm not sure why, downloaded with seamonkey in Dpup-Exprimo. Just tried going to http://www.meownplanet.net/zigbert/ in Racy5390 and the downloads worked fine and the .pets installed. YAY!

@ zigbert

Does this application also support burning FLAC audio files?

If not, will this be possible in a future build?

[Flash]

If you just choose to burn them as files, that is, as digital data, then Pburn should burn them just fine. It's up to the media player to recognize that they are flac files and do the right thing by them.

burning dvd videos by pburn 3.7.5 on the precise puppy 5.4 fails.
