How can I burn large files to DVD? > > You can consider larger DVD too: 8 GB DVD The problem is not the media or the drive. My DVD burner is double layer and I have some double layer DVDs that can hold 8 GB. I can burn a DVD that holds 8 GB, but it still can't include any individual files that are over 4 GB in size. I tried GnomeBaker, K3b and Nautilus. Each one said that the write failed because the file was over 4 GB. The file in question is 4.4 GB and it wouldn't work even if I used a double layer DVD. Thanks for the response, but I'm stll stuck. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
