DVD with a single large file

So, I'm trying to burn a single large file, greater than 4 gigabytes, to a DVD for long term storage when I notice an error with the couple of different programs I normally use. I google around and come up with a colution on the command line so quickly, that I don't have time to pirate any for money software.

Error message.

File capture002.dv is larger than 4GiB-1.
-allow-limited-size was not specified. There is no way do represent this file size. Aborting.

Job done. Thank you google, open source software, people who actually use their computers, and people who use their computetrs and then go in forums and help people who display an interest in using their computers for more than porn and facebook.

>  mkisofs -allow-limited-size -udf -o ./test.iso <full path to file that is bigger than 4G>
>  cdrecord -verbose -dao -driveropts=burnfree test.iso
