Just for another datapoint, Nero Burning ROM (onWindows) also limits 
files on an ISO DVD to 2GB. You must use UFS for larger files. These 
guys have been making CD/DVD burning software for some time. I suspect 
they know what they are doing.

The problem in FreeBSD is that you can mount succesfully any UDF dvd
(at least, i have been sucessfull with this one) with mount_udf but
you cannot create such a filesystem with a tool like mkudffs. Are there
any plans for such a tool ?
