I'm trying to write a .dar file to a DVD, and my K3B apparently chokes on it. The size of the file is 4.3 GByte.
The size of a DVD is 4.7^9 bytes, that's 4.37GB so should still fit.
GByte file to a DVD, that went well. But every time I try to write something that's over 2 GBytes in size ... K3B chokes, and ruines the DVD.
The iso9660 filesystem does not provide any compatibility between systems for files >2GB, so don't have any of those. There can be all sorts of other issues, there's more on Andy's dvd+rw-tools website too. No comment on k3b. If you really need those files, consider using an ext2 filesystem on the DVD.
