Using mkisofs to make an image for a dvd?

[Schizoid]

I am trying to burn one large file that is just a tad over spec size for my dvd+r drive. growisofs ignores the -overburn option if you are trying to burn files. You can only use -overburn to burn images.

So I need to make my file into an image, and then tell growisofs to burn that with -overburn.

The problem is since growisofs has spoiled me I do not know what options need to be passed to mkisofs to make my file into a valid dvd file system image. It is not the same as making a cdrom image as far as I know.

This is not to make a video dvd, just a plain dvd with files to be read by a computer.

I have tried the man file and a few google searches but nothing concrete has appeared. Thank you for any help.

Create the iso using

Hey, thanks for the reply.

That first command gets me:

mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File is too large - ignoring

And then I get an empty iso file.

What would happen if I bought a dual layer dvdr and tries to burn it with that?
