I submitted this query about 3 weeks ago and received only one response that was very helpful in confirming what I have already tried, but which did not, unfortunately, provide any new leads. ----- query ----- I am trying to burn *very large* .mov video files to *data* DVDs that will be read by both Mac and PC platforms. I am trying to burn 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. At this point, I will even consider using a PC platform (running XP) for the burning, provided a Mac will also read the finished data DVD. I will also consider software other than Toast (Nero on the PC side?). Summary: need to burn a single 4 Gig .mov file to a data DVD, burned on a Mac or PC, readable on both Mac and PC Any help (on-list or off-list) will be appreciated.
