To follow up with this a bit:<br><br>I have come across many forums where people have indicated that the maximum file size for ISO9660 Level 2 is 2GB. I have also come across some information that for ISO9660 Level 3, its 4GB.
<br>I couldn't find a definitive site saying both of these in one place, but a friend of mine came across this small snippet:<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">
<font size="3">IS09660 has a limitation of 2GB at Level 2 ISO9660 and 4GB at level 3, currently Nero and other burning roms at this time dont support ISO9660 level 3 - The only way to get your files > 2Gb to DVD is using UDF filesystem on you discs, but most DVD players dont support UDF - Now, another problem that is being presented in this situation is that Nero and many other linux apps is there is also a 2GB file size limitation implemented deep within the programming implementations of libc (this changed in newer 64-bit sources) that limits the file size to 2GB (more specificly 2^31 - 1) there is a workaround to implement LFS into the libc kernal source which the limit becomes 2^63 or 8TB, I can send you a link to more on that, but from what I can tell it is really not worth it...you might try to find a way to do what the dvd makers have been implementing to use ISO9660 level 2, split your video into VOB's at 1GB because that is the "roundest" file size below below the 2^31 -1 limit
</font><br></blockquote><br>So this being the case, I see two possible solutions.<br><br>1) MythArchive needs to learn how to start splitting files up into 1 GB chunks. Create a patch to start doing so.<br>2) MythArchive needs to learn how to write UDF. I haven't even ever written a UDF disk myself, so I'll have to see how readily feasible this is.
</blockquote><div><br>This has nothing to do with the size of the .ISO but has to do with the size of the files inside the iso. Since mytharchive uses dvdauthor to create a valid iso (with no files larger than 2GB) I dont think this is your problem.
