DVD burning - mkisofs max size allowed

[A. Lanza]

Hi list,

i'm trying to burn a DVD using k3b, as i usually do for CD burning. I'm
using 4,7GB size DVD-R. The problem is that i cannot burn a 4,4GB. file.
The file is exactly 4,613,704,668 bytes long.

The message i get from k3b is the following:
	/usr/bin/mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type
and then
	File <file> is too large - ignoring

It seems like the problem is the file size, but that file should fit in
a DVD, shouldn't it? Is there any limit in the size of files written to
DVD?

Thanks,

Alf
