mkisofs -dvd-video from a fat32 filesystem

[Derek Atkins]

Tim,

I don't think you read the message completely.  The question wasn't
"how can I make a large file" but, rather, "how can I make a large
file on a partition that is shared between Linux and Windows"?  Do you
know of an extN driver for windows he could use?  The NTFS driver for
Linux is still pretty raw....
