Comment 7 for bug 30033

mkisofs supports "large files" since 2001, but
it did not support multi-extent files and for
this reason, it needed to limit the file size to 4 GB.

As DVDs are 4.3 GB, this was not a big problem before.
Now that cdrecord introduced Blu Ray support, the long
planned multi-extent support was implemented.

mkisofs-2.01.01a32 adds support for files > 4 GB.

Cdrtools-2.01.01a32 will be published early next week,
most likely on Monday, 30th July 2007

See http://cdrecord.berlios.de/

Note that due to a Linux kernel bug, you will currently
not be able to read the complete content of multi-extent
files on Linux.
