Re: [SLE] Burn CD-R So It's Readable from Windows Using K3B?
To Fixate and choosing ISO1 is a checkbox whenever you choose to burn a cd. If you do fixate, it will burn a complete directory at one end of the cd and you will not be able to burn additional data onto the cd.
You might want to read the documentation of most cdburning programs so you can understand how it works.

Burn the file using K3b. Don't fixate unless you want to waste the CD. Reboot into Windows.
Open the CD. You should be able to see the file there. If not, check that you are using ISO 1 until you master all the options for K3b.
If you wish, you can watch that file using mplayer from either environment.
As a sidebar, who are we mocking when we call a Windows box a 'wintendo'? If we are to be taken seriously here, why play around and add language not needed to assist those asking for help? do we really need to do this and what about those who oppose open source who monitor lists such as this to gain insight and ammo.
Please leave the cutsey remarks elsewhere.

Perhaps it's a regional thing but I've never heard it called 'fixate' before. Finalise, yes... It means the same thing though :-) -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.

I've never considered it a regional thing, but if it is, perhaps that's the term used in Germany where the author of cdrecord (Joerg Schilling) is from. -- Jim Cunning

Either term describes the action well. You are closing the filesystem so you will not be able to add additional files. Some other CD burners had advanced software to allow punchin and recovery of fragged CDs but I have yet to see it migrated from Windows to Linux. Adam

If the CD is multisession or not is totally unrelated to beeing able to play an .avi in Windows. Anyway, it seems that the original poster chose to ignore two answers that were most likely to solve his real problem and he's doing the CD multisession thing now. Oh well, at least he's gonna learn something.
