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.
