I am burning them on a Mac dual G4 processor (OS 10.2.8) with Toast 6 Titanium and an external FireWire Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-107D burner. Which of the Toast burn options: Mac & PC ISO 9660 Custom Hybrid will allow me to burn a single file of 3-4 Gigs that can be read on both Mac and PC platforms? Using older versions of Toast in the past, I have run into the 2 Gig ceiling (apparently FAT16 and/or FAT32 limitations?) on the PC side which cuts the larger files off at 1.99 Gig and renders them unreadable (on a Dell box running XP) - even though on the Mac side the files show the full 4 Gig size and are fully readable. Summary: single 4 Gig file on data DVD, burned on a Mac, readable on both Mac and PC? Any help (on-list of off-list) will be appreciated.
