What UNIX/Linux filesystem are you using that has such a small maximum file size? – pdo Feb 16 '11 at 19:14

VFAT (FAT32) in quite old kernel has limit of 4GB file size. – Jakub Narębski Feb 16 '11 at 20:51

As long as you don't mind that the intermediate storage won't be usable as such:
split -b 1024m /dev/dvd iso-pieces.
# Pop out original, pop in blank
cat iso-pieces.* | growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/stdin

Thanks. I will probably use `dd` or `cdread` instead of `split`-ting on device, though. – Jakub Narębski Feb 18 '11 at 12:26

@Jakub: `dd` is useless here, it won't do anything for you that `cat` wouldn't do. But see [Calculate md5sum of a CD/DVD](http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/3792/calculate-md5sum-of-a-cd-dvd) about reading a CD's filesystem image exactly. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Feb 18 '11 at 18:22

I meant using e.g. `dd if=/dev/dvd of=iso-piece.2 bs=1024m count=1 skip=1024m` etc. instead of `split`. – Jakub Narębski Feb 22 '11 at 11:08
