I recently has similar problems. To burn a 7.4GB file, I had to use udf
extensions.

If I let KDE mount this disc, it will mount it with iso9660 without
udf. In this case, the files are truncated. ls -l reports a 3.1GB file
instead of 7.4GB.

So I had to "mount -t udf " the disc as root. When the disc was
mounted as udf, I could see the whole file and verify its content with
md5sum.
