I did set it to write to the DVD. The tarball is about 4Gbs or so. It should fit on the DVD with no problems. I tried a lot of different settings tho. Still no joy.

I don't think that file will fit on a CD. LOL

As this is an extension to what the basic compatibility mode allows, you of course need to _allow_ mkisofs to write files larger than 4 GB.

See the mkisofs man page ------> you need iso-level 3 or 4.

I did try level 3 and still no joy.  Also tried UDF or something and no joy.

I got Kbackup to make 1Gb tarballs and it still does not burn. I got something like this:

umount: /media/hdd is not in the fstab

So, I added it to fstab and it is burning away. I will try large files next and see just how big I can get. Plan to try the 4Gb sucker just out of curiosity if nothing else.
I thought you didn't need fstab entries for CD/DVD stuff?  O_O

Thanks for the help tho.  Learned something new.
