Problems Reading and Writing DVDs Greater Than 4-Gbytes on Solaris 9 4/04 Software (4908624, 4987026)

Problems are encountered when reading and writing DVDs that are greater than 4-Gbytes on the Solaris 9 4/04 software.

Note –

These problems occur on both SPARC 32-bit and x86 platforms. These problems do not occur on either of these platforms for DVDs with less than 4-Gbytes of data or on the 64–bit SPARC platform.

The same data seemingly repeats itself every 4-Gbytes. These DVDs can be mounted for reading, but some files might appear to be corrupted, while other files might be inaccessible. In addition, writes to offsets that are greater than 4-Gbytes might lead to corruption of the existing data on the DVD.

Workaround: None.
