To me that tastes strange so I decided to store keyfile elsewhere. The question still remains: fdisk -l /dev/hda Note: sector size is 2048 (not 512) Disk /dev/hda: 4530 MB, 4530241536 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 137 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 2048 = 32901120 bytes Disk /dev/hda doesn't contain a valid partition table What is now the right mastering process for encrypted DVDs? Does the aespipe example for encrypted CDROM also apply to DVDs? Or came the hang ups when reading from encrypted DVD from improper mastering of the ISO?
