[Bug 17938] New: DVD Shrink does not recognize NTFS partitions - creates MDS instead of ISO files

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17938

Summary: DVD Shrink does not recognize NTFS partitions - creates
                    MDS instead of ISO files
           Product: WineHQ Apps Database
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: appdb-unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

Hi Guys

Since version 1.1.18 DVD Shrink does not recognise NTFS partitions anymore. By
design the program will go ahead and split the DVD over 4x 1GB files (ie
MOVIE.I00, MOVIE.I01, MOVIE.I02) and create an MDS file to "link" the files
together. It does this because it thinks the underlying filesystem does not
support files bigger than 2Gb.

The problem is that exiting linux tools to read/convert this MDS file simply
does not work (I did try mdf2iso - didn't recognise the file).

Even though everything works, it technically speaking makes DVD Shrink unusable
since it is impossible to do something with the MDS file.

I can confirm that the problem did not exist in Wine 1.1.15 - DVD shrink
created ISO files as expected.

Hope this helps

Werner

I think this related to reporting 'unixfs" for all HDD mounts instead of ntfs.
If that's the case, then it's a program bug - and should be won't fix.

Not necessarily. There's no way to override this, and some applications depend
on seeing NTFS file systems for certain features.

Of course there is no way to override - Wine, nor Linux's ntfs driver support
all ntfs features.

If regression test will show this commit
8044c11ecfca09e2b643feccb95a4d8f645ba656 then this bug is a won't fix.

It's not actually depending on those features. There's no reason we can't
(optionally) fake being an NTFS file system if it helps an application.

Hi Guys

Just some additional feedback on the problem. I downgraded to the offical
ubuntu package (ie the stable release 1.0.0-1ubuntu4~hardy1), and files are
correctly ripped to ISO

I apologise for not having regression tests, juggling 4 projects at the moment
and didn't read the howto. Sorry - will do that asap.

In case anyone runs into this problem (and searches the bugs) - the following
workaround will work perfectly. It turns out the MDS file is very elementary
and it is possible to "cat" all the files together into an ISO without any
problems (the resulting ISO was written to DVD+R and played on a Pioneer Home
DVD player without any problems).

cat MOVIE.I00, MOVIE.I01, MOVIE.I02, MOVIE.I03 > MOVIE.ISO

When you cat everything together don't include the MDS file.

As a sidenote: Austin is correct when he says that DVD Shrink doesn't use any
NTFS features (ie. permissions/user rights), it simply queries the system's
filetype to decide whether or not it should got the MDS route or the ISO route.

I have to ask - wouldn't it help if there was dropdown in wine's config
allowing you to set your drive map as floppy, cd-rom, harddrive (fat),
harddrive (fat32), harddrive (ntfs), harddrive (ext3) etc? At this stage you
can only select "Local Hard drive" with no further specification of what
harddrive it is. It seems strange to be able to specify a floppy file system or
an ISO9660 filesystem but not having the ability to specify harddrive systems
in a bit more detail.

Hope this helps

Werner

That's what I'm proposing. Googling shows that some applications will fail if
an NTFS file system is not available. The patch in question was put in place to
satisfy one application.

I've sent an e-mail to wine-devel, so rather than get in an edit war over
reopening this bug, I'll wait for comments there before reopening.
