Just look, here is example:

    fbsd# growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -R -J -udf -iso-level 3 -dry-run somefile
    Executing 'mkisofs -R -J -udf -iso-level 3 somefile | builtin_dd
    of=/dev/pass0 obs=32k seek=0'
    mkisofs: Value too large to be stored in data type. File somefile is
    too large - ignoring

I'm not talking about restriction of DVD size, but restriction to 
filesize wchich I want to place on DVD:

    fbsd# cat somefile | split -b 2G
    fbsd# rm somefile
    fbsd# ls -lh
    total 4590848
    -rw-r--r--  1 root  operator   2,0G  5 gru 09:18 xaa
    -rw-r--r--  1 root  operator   2,0G  5 gru 09:24 xab
    -rw-r--r--  1 root  operator   385M  5 gru 09:26 xac
    fbsd# growisofs -v -Z /dev/cd0 -R -J -udf -dry-run ./
    Executing 'mkisofs -v -R -J -udf ./ | builtin_dd of=/dev/pass0
    obs=32k seek=0'
    mkisofs 2.01 (i386-unknown-freebsd7.0)
    Scanning ./

    Writing:   UDF main seq                            Start Block 32

When I split that file there are no errors and DVD is 4,3GB size.
