How to create a DVD image with very large files?

[Patrick Doyle]

I have a 6.5 Gbyte tarball that I want to archive on a dual layer DVD.
 Unfortunately, I don't have a dual-layer writer on my PC, however, I
do have access to another (Windows) PC that _does_ have a dual-layer
writer.

So, I would like to create the .iso on my Linux PC and transfer it to
the other PC.  Since I use Gnome as my desktop, I figured I would use
GnomeBaker to create the .iso.  Unfortunately, when I do so, I get an
error message that reads:

mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type.  File
/blah/blah/blah.tar.bz2 is too large - ignoring

For some reason, this makes me think that mkisofs isn't happy with my
6.5 Gbyte tarball.  I could try k3b (I wonder how that plays in a
Gnome session), but I anticipate the same results.

Does anybody have any better ideas?

My final fallback will be to transfer the 6.5 Gbyte file to the
Windows PC and burn it directly to the DVD there, but I thought I
would try creating the .iso here first.
