No extensive directory check

Anonymous — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 01:41:06 -0000

I spoke with the creator of this script with an error that I had and he summed it up as a directory issue. I had a file that was at least 7 directories deep. The max is 6. It would be beneficial for us novice users to have a check system to save us from ourselves. After the error the programs shuts down with no means of starting from where it left off. A check script and an option to correct it would save some time and frustration.

Size of DVD+Rs

The multiplication by 2 in the DVD+R's size calculation is wrong.

It should not be:

dvd_plus_r' : 4.37 * 2 * 1024 * 1024 *1024

The correct size is:

dvd_plus_r' : 4.37 * 1024 * 1024 *1024

Thanks for this super-useful script.
