The problem in my case is with mkisofs ... if I have an iso file that's bigger than 2GB, dvdrecord can burn it with no problem, but I can't get mkisofs include files larger than 2GB into an iso. I've googled for large file patches, etc for mkisofs, but have come up with nothing.
I'm not really a programmer, so I don't have a good idea of just how much of a pain in the butt it'd be to fix mkisofs, but would love to have a patch or something that would allow me to include files larger than 2GB in my isos.
