Thanks Carlos & David. My point really is...knowing this I can't simply split
my big tar file in chunks of 4,482.625 MiB's because I need to consider the
filesystem overhead (UDF in my case). I really want to use Nero because I
like it's verification process and I trust it for burning UDF. I wanted to
know if there was an easier way, besides trial & error (Nero telling me it
won't fit)...
Our point was that if you are only saving a single file, you do not need to "format" the DVD, not as UDF, not as ISO, nor as anything at all. Ie, you can burn it "raw". You simply go to k3b and tell it to burn a dvd image file, and give "somearchive.tar.split1" as the "image". K3b will complain that it is not an iso image, but it will burn anyway.
The advantage is that you don't waste anyspace for directory entries and such: there are none.
The disadvantage is that the dvd will not be "mountable", of course. Windows will think it is broken :-p
