This sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD which contains a single ISO file in its filesystem, instead of burning the ISO file to the disk! There is no problem burning ISO images greater than 2GB to DVDs. I recently burned 7GB to a double layer DVD-R. The problem only exists trying to put files larger than 2GB into iso9660 filesystems (which you then want to burn to DVDs). -- Kevin J.
