What I did myself, was to split my large files into smaller chunks.
I use GNU 'split' to split it into 50MB chunks, then I use parity
archives ('par' utility) to generate redundancy data for my split
volumes.
This way I can recover the large file even if data errors on the disc
prevent me from reading a few of the split volumes.
The par program also makes it easy to verify the integrity of all of the
split volumes with one command.
If they're all OK, I can just use gnu 'cat' to concatenate all the files
to disk.
I also include the md5sum of the large file so I can verify it is OK
after concatenating the small files.
What I can't do, is repair/recover bad volumes without copying all the
split volumes to disk first.

While this is not a mkisofs related topic, it does relate to dvdrecord.
I see so many problems, and few solutions on this list that I decided to
post a solution, of sorts.
I was trying to save multi gigabyte database dumps to dvd, but
limitations withing mkisofs (more specifically the joliet file system)
prevented me from storing these fat files in an iso image.
The workaround is to save the files to a tar file directly, and save
this to the DVD, sans any file system. While this does not result in a
DVD that can be mounted in the normal fashion, it does result in a DVD
that can be treated as a tape, and used for backups. The big win of
course is that there is no 32 bit floating integer limit on the file
size.
To illustrate:
0.) md5sum the files of interest:
md5sum /data/multiGigFile.dump | tee /data/multiGigFile.md5sum
1.) Create backup tar file:
tar cf /data/multiGigFile.tar /data/multiGigFile.dump
2.) Shoot this onto the DVD using dvdrecord:
dvdrecord -v -pad -dao dev=1,0,0 speed=4 /data/multiGigFile.tar
3.) Extract it again using dd. It will be bigger due to padding.
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/data/multiGigFile_restored.tar
4.) Now compare the contents, by changing to another directory,
and using tar xvf /data/multiGigFile_restored.tar
and then md5sum of the contents of the restored file. If the sums
compare then the files should be identical (or try cmp - diff griped
about memory being exhausted)
So far everything has been good.
I'm sure this could be streamlined with pipes, but I have the disk
space, and am relatively short of RAM, so I'm leaving the files around
for now. As we've seen before, it's best to compress component files
_before_ placing them in the archive. I save the uncompressed md5sum
file in the archive as well.
The bzip2 man pages seem to imply that it has some sort of error
detection, that I have not read about for gzip, so perhaps it's better
for big files for that reason.

Hi, Well here come my experiences : - cdrecord-prodvd can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ProDVD/ and is a binary only program. It also needs a environment key to run. cdrecord-prodvd is based on cdrtools-2.0. This program also support DVD+R(W) drives and should always work ok. In case of severe problems you should also try cdrecord-prodvd. - cdrtools-2.0-dvd.patch.gz is a patch which enables DVD-R(W) support for/inside cdrtools-2.0.tar.gz. It is opensource and can be downloaded from ftp://crashrecovery.org/pub/linux/cdrtools/ There's also adjusted RPM's and SRPM's for redhat 7.3, redhat 8.0 and mandrake 9.1. The benefit is that all features inside cdrtools-2.0 present are to be untouched and keep working error-free. The cdrtools-2.0-dvd.patch.gz only adds a extra DVD-R(W) driver into the list of supported drivers , i.e. check with cdrecord driver=help : mmc_mdvdgeneric SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver is added by applying this patch, and has no limitations in speed and udf/iso size. The downside is that lowering the DVD burning speed doesn't work : i.e. some-one inserts a 2x DVD-R burning recordable, adding the option speed=1 won't work. AFAIK only cdrecord-prodvd supports this. The good part is that all frontends based on cdrtools-2.0 should also work as expected with cdrtools-2.0-dvd. So indeed i can use e.g. xcdroast to burn DVD-R(W)'s using a GUI. download is on http://www.xcdroast.org/xcdr098/rpms-a14.html - dvdrecord / dvdrtools is a fork-off from cdrtools version 1.11a8 . Its is opensource and can be downloaded from : http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/dvdrtools/ http://www.nongnu.org/dvdrtools/ dvdrecord should also work ok. however its based on a older cdrtools version which has the downside that certain CD-R(W) parts and drivers are not really up to date. Hence its use is basicly as dvdrecord, i.e. burn DVD-R(W)'s with dvdrecord and keep the cdrecord which was already installed to burn CD-R(W)'s. - cdrecord-dvdhack is again a patch/hack to add DVD-R(W) support into cdrtools-2.0. But also here a extra binary is added next to cdrecord. Its opensource and can be downloaded from : http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~warly/files/cdrtools/ The patches are against cdrtools-1.11a versions. Regards, Robert -- Robert M.
