What I discovered was, you *can* burn an image of 4.7GB or 8GB in size, but none of the files in that image can exceed 2GB in size (this seems to be a mkisofs limitation). So, what I did was to break up the large files into smaller chunks. (Its just as easy to cat them back together and pipe that output to a tar command.) If you look at DVD movies, you'll see that each VOB file is around 1GB in size (max), so they don't have that problem anyways. I don't think there is another solution for for large files, yet. -- Kevin J.
