K3B put them in the project, but I couldn't get them burned: I had a warning about file sizes > 2GB required UDF to work right. OK, I checked the UDF structures box. Then it complained that more than 1/2 of the disk was being wasted. I guess it still didn't like the 4GB file (exactly 4GB in size). So, now I'm re-splitting the file again, this time I'm using 2047MB chunks. I should end up with 4 files, each < 2GB in size. Its probably going to take long time to finish the split again (only 41MB in the first 10 minutes. sigh) -- Kevin J.
