[KLUG Members] CD / DVD burning

[John Pesce]

I have a burning question to ask, pun intended ;)

How can I burn a 2.9 GB file to a DVD.

mkisofs reports that the file is ignored because it is too large.

I can burn it under windows ok, Nero uses a UDF filesystem.

The mkisofs says the -udf option is alpha and doesn't really do real UDF
structures yet. Is this safe to use for database backups?

I'm using Suse 9.1
Is there a better way to make DVDs now.

Also, under rh9 I used the ide_scsi module and dvdrecord specifying up
to 8x speed. 
Under Suse 9.1 dvdrecord doesn't seem to be included and it doesn't seem
to use ide_scsi anymore. K3b only burns up to 4x now. Is the ide
interface slowing it down? Should I use the ide_scsi to try and speed it
up?

Thanks
