Re: Copy/record to DVD's

I'm setting up a comfile that burns historical data to DVD on a customer's
sparkling new Integrity system. I don't know how much data they'll end up
putting on each disk, but I'm pretty sure it will never be more than the 4.7Gb
stated on the DVD's I was testing with. I wrote the comfile to size the
container disk at the (current) max DVD size. When I tested it, I think it ran
out of room. Here is the error I got:

%CDDVD-I-SKEY, Unit sense key 05
-CDDVD-I-SKEYILLREQ, illegal request sense key
%CDDVD-I-SKEYASCASCQ, SKey: 05, ASC: 21, ASCQ: 00
%CDDVD-I-ASC2100, logical block address out of range error detected
%CDDVD-E-WRTERR, disk write or disk full error; unable to complete write
-CDDVD-W-BADADD, bad write address
Synchronizing with output device cache
Closing the open track
Operation permitted 480 seconds for completion
Closing the open session
Operation permitted 480 seconds for completion
Unable to complete processing
%CDDVD-W-BADADD, bad write address

First question: is this really saying it ran out of room on the disk? It's a
little obscured by complaints about "sense key".

Second question, what is the largest container file I can burn to DVD? I
obviously miscalculated it. Here is my comfile:

$ SET NOON
$ SAY :== WRITE SYS$OUTPUT
$ SAY "Beginning HDMP DVD Burn."
$!
$LOADNEWCD:
$ ON CONTROL_Y THEN GOTO EXIT
$ SAY ""
$ SAY "Please load a NEW blank DVD in the drive on ''f$getsyi("nodename")'..."
$ INQUIRE DUMMY "Press Enter to continue. Control/Y to exit"
$!
$REUSE_DVD_CONTAINER:
$ IF F$GETDVI("$3$LDA1:","EXISTS")
$ THEN
$ DISMOUNT $3$LDA1:
$ LD DISCONNECT $3$LDA1:
$ ENDIF
$ SAY "Preparing files to copy."
$ LD CREATE/SIZE=10049000 $1$DGA5:[HDMP]HDMP_CONTAINER.DSK
$ LD CONNECT $1$DGA5:[HDMP]HDMP_CONTAINER.DSK LDA1
$ INITIALIZE $3$LDA1: HDMPDVD
$ MOUNT $3$LDA1: HDMPDVD
$!
$COPY_FILES_TO_HDMP_CONTAINER:
$ SAY ""
$ SAY "Copying files from source directory to DVD container..."
(copying files into container file)...
$!
$BURN_FILES_TO_DVD:
$ SAY ""
$ SAY "Starting to burn DVD..."
$ MOUNT/OVER=ID $3$DNA0:
$ COPY/RECORDABLE/FORMAT/VERIFY $3$LDA1: $3$DNA0:
$ DISMOUNT $3$LDA1:
$ LD DISCONNECT LDA1
$!
$ EXIT

Well, I make 10049000 blocks as 4.79GBF. Nero only lets me try to burn 4.5GBF on
a DVD+R. Try 9437184 blocks, minus about 10 percent, rounded up to the nearest
multiple of the target volume's clustersize.

FWIW...
