I got burned with this on Ubuntu Edgy, and now it appears I am still

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.
and that new distros should have eliminated this problem.
Evidently not. How can I burn large files to DVD?
You can consider larger DVD too: 8 GB DVD
The problem is not the media or the drive. My DVD burner is double
layer and I have some double layer DVDs that can hold 8 GB. I can burn
a DVD that holds 8 GB, but it still can't include any individual files
that are over 4 GB in size. I tried GnomeBaker, K3b and Nautilus. Each
one said that the write failed because the file was over 4 GB. The file
in question is 4.4 GB and it wouldn't work even if I used a double
layer DVD.
Thanks for the response, but I'm stll stuck.
