James, You can unchecked slicing and it will produce a single file or select custom and it will slice it in anything you want. The only reason of slicing is to be able to fit into dvd. The 4.7 number is more virtual than real. udf will allow you to use slices > 2Gb (B was comparing it with the iso)but it will not increase the size of the dvd ;-) The 4.7 is total manufactures disk capacity in decimal notation. When you use binary notation, you include the logical format (udf etc) and any error management system you can loose easily 0.5 GB. In summary manufactures total capacity do not express YOUR data capacity. Furthermore total capacity also varies according the quality of the media. So your alternatives include : double density media, lan storage or tape which is what I use for backups. Ciao -=terry(Denver)=- On Sun, 2007-02-11 at 10:25 -0500, James Knott wrote:

James,
I use kdar and what I do is I select DVD 4.7 and then I reduce the size to 4.0 and it works great. Then to restore you just load the last one and select and restore.
I already do that. My question was about using UDF with KDar as a means of allowing more than 4 GB slices.
