I've recently tried writing a [data] DVD+RW containing two large files of over 2 GiB each. mkisofs generates an apparently correct ISO 9660 image -- I can mount it via loopback and read the files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 hrm media 2275737600 2004-05-16 23:41 Sea-of-Souls-1.mpeg -rw-r--r-- 1 hrm media 2284208128 2004-05-16 14:13 Sea-of-Souls-2.mpeg
When I write the image to a DVD+RW, both files appear on the DVD, but their lengths are incorrect:
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 10813440 2004-05-16 23:41 Sea-of-Souls-1.mpeg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2506752 2004-05-16 14:13 Sea-of-Souls-2.mpeg
It's known Linux isofs deficiency. I personally recommend to stick to files smaller than 2G-1 (see http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2003/12/msg00101.html for example) to *ensure* maximum interoperability. I realize that it might be inappropriate in some particular situation such as is. If you absolutely must have files larger than 2G master with -udf option and mount volume as udf instead of isofs. A.
