ROUND TWO!
Originally, K3b, the Linux burning application, said I had 113 MB free space on
the DVD during the burning operation. So I added a bunch more files. On the
next draft, K3b said I had 10.3 MB free space. Whew! Only when it went
actually to start the burn, it said there wasn't enough room for the operation.
So I removed another 15 MB. Same deal. Then I removed more until it said it
had 46MB free space. Then it worked.
Q: How can you predict what will actually fit on a disk? What measurement is
absolutely correct?
I'm also wondering, if I were to delete thumbs.db's (across thousands of
image-containing directories), how long until Windows puts them back. I'm also
not sure that's the only problem with predicting DVD-fitting. Could the
directories themselves be taking up a nontrivial amount of space, (an amount
calculated by one routine of K3b but not the other?)
