cdrecord and burning disks on FreeBSD with filesize over 4GB

[CeDeROM]

Hello world!

I have a remark regarding the DVD/BluRay recording, as described in
the Handbook, that it currently requires cdrtools-devel package first
installed instead of cdrtools, to be able to create filesystem image
that supports >4GB per-file-size. Current cdrtools package was
released in September 2004 and is outdated as hell, it does not
support "-iso-level 3" switch, so it propagates problems to all
related recording software like dvd+rw-utils, brasero, k3b, dvdtk,
etc...

Please take a look at comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc / cdrkit vs.
dvd+rw-tools and the dvd iso 4gb max filesize problem

The author of the cdrtools suite is involved in the discussion and he
declares a new release soon, so the problem might be solved, however I
think that it is good idea to add this information about
cdrtools-devel package into Handbook documentation, in case of future
troubles with cdrtools releases.

Best regards,

ps/2: is it the proper way to add modifications to the FreeBSD Handbook? :-)
