growisofs is your solution. It is in the dvd+r-tools port in /usr/pots/sysutils.
This was supposed to be a front end to mkisofs and therefore handles most of the options that mkisofs has.
It also allows you to burn directly to disc! (I use this one a lot, great for backups).

I've been trying to burn a single large file (a 4.2 GB encrypted gbde

large.

I looked on Google and found that mkisofs had a filesize limit of 2 GB,
but this was increased to 4 GB, so I dropped the filesize to 4095 MB, but
it still failed, so I guess the version in ports still has the 2 GB
limits.


The mkisofs of sysutils/cdrtools has the 2 GB limitation; the mkisofs
installed by sysutils/cdrtools-devel does not.

But, I would issue a big caveat about what you are proposing to do: you
may be able to burn the DVD, but it is likely that you will not be able
to access the large (> 2 GB) file under FreeBSD from the burned disc.



Ah, you're right df reports the size correctly, but nothing else works. _______________________________________________
