file too big for single read

[pfrenkiel]

I run the following command

autohb.rb --file myfile.iso -o myfile
I get:

autohb.rb:122 :in `read': file too big for single read (IOError)

How big is myfile.iso? Can you give me some more details about your environment, particularly the OS and ruby versions you're running?

hi Mark,
thank you for answering my post. Here are the requested informations:
OS: Debian Jessie
ruby 2.1.5p273 (2014-11-13) [i386-linux-gnu]
Can the problem come from the gems I downloaded?
I tried with several iso files of increasing sizes. Here are the results:

808M

As what I wanted seemed rather simple (get automatically french audio and sub-titles),
I also did some tests with a simple shell script like:
HandBrakeCLI -i $IN -o $OUT
--native-language fre --native-dub
--custom-anamorphic --keep-display-aspect
--subtitle-burned $SB
--subtitle $S
--subtitle-default $SD
--srt-default $SRT
-e x264 --x264-preset fast --x264-tune film
-scan
-m -t $T

but no parameter combination gave me the expected result.
for the sub-titles (no problem with audio)

best regards,

Pierre Frenkiel

Thanks Pierre, that's some really useful info.
I've not got time to look into this right now, but I'll try and take a look at it over the next couple of weeks.
