I have a 6.5 Gbyte tarball that I want to archive on a dual layer DVD.
Unfortunately, I don't have a dual-layer writer on my PC, however, I
do have access to another (Windows) PC that _does_ have a dual-layer
writer.

So, I would like to create the .iso on my Linux PC and transfer it to
the other PC.  Since I use Gnome as my desktop, I figured I would use
GnomeBaker to create the .iso.  Unfortunately, when I do so, I get an
error message that reads:

mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type.  File
/blah/blah/blah.tar.bz2 is too large - ignoring

What you want to do is use the "--tape-length=4GB" fuction inside tar when you create the tar.  If you use the "split" command against the large archive, your resulting files will show up as "data" if you check "file tar.part*".  Some CD writing programs won't allow you to burn files with pure data (ran into that in k3b).
