I have files that are somewhat larger than 4 gigabytes and I would
like to burn them on a DVD. My problem is that mkisofs croaks on files
larger than 4 gigabytes. Note that the problem is not the ISO-9660
image ending up larger than 4 gigabytes, but storing a larger than 4
gigabytes file inside it. It seems obvious that the ISO-9660
filesystem does not support files larger than 4 gigabytes, but UDF
does. UDF tools seem to be a bit of a hassle to work with and I'm not
sure how I would get the correct size for a filesystem with them.
Also, the created images when burned to a DVD need to be directly
accessible under Windows as well.

Then answer I want is a script that turns a directory containing some
files (some of which may be larger than 4 gigabytes) in to an image
that I can burn on to a DVD, or alternatively streams it directly on
to the DVD. This DVD should then be mountable and readable both under
Linux and Windows directly. If the script needs patched versions of
some esoteric software, that's fine, just mention which. And if the
script is a single command line, that's fine as well.
