I got burned with this on Ubuntu Edgy, and now it appears I am still
stuck with it under Etch. K3b refuses to burn a file to DVD if the size
of the file exceeds 4 GB. From previous googling I know the problem is
in mkisofs. But I thought that there was a replacement for mkisofs
(growisofs?)

correct: you may use groisofs which is not realy a replacement of mkisofs

Unfortunately, Synaptic lists only mkisofs, and it also says that it is
just to create a link to genisofs, which is what everyone should be
using now. But genisofs is not listed in Synaptic. Neither is growisofs.


growisofs is in the dvd+rw-tools package.

growisofs uses mkisofs to create the image to burn on the disk.

Currently, I've tried genisomage to create an udf image with file > 6GB
on it with:

# -r : Rock ridge avec des perm uid et gid correct
# -allow-limited-size: requis pour des fichiers > 2GB
# -f: follow sym link (pas de symlink avec udf)
genisoimage -udf -f -r -J -allow-limited-size -o ~/video2/dvd.iso *


Then I burn the image on a dual layer dvd.

You can probably do everything in a row with growisofs.
