Should fit on the disc then ;)

I am guessing as I do not know for sure, but GnomeBaker could have
some internal limit at 'signed int' size, limiting it to 2GB filesize.
You could try creating a sparse file that is just under 2GB in size
(2*1024^2 minus 4k) and see if GnomeBaker picks it up. If I get time
in the week, I can have a play and see if I can find out what is
happening.

I have had problems with it, but I am just starting to play with DVD's
at the moment (see my Packet Writing post)
