I got a 1.5TB HD the other day and it was formatted FAT32 - went to copy a DVD ISO to it.... Denied! 4GB file limit. An I didn't realise it was FAT32 before I copied across a couple of hundred GB of stuff, so now I'll probably have to resize the partition, make a NTFS one (for Win/Lin compatibility), copy from one to the other, resize FAT32 down and then NTFS up, wash/rinse/repeat to get rid of that poxy FAT32 partitioning.... Grrr! Point well taken about the burning, at least you can see what options/compatibility modes are available from a GUI, and it'll pick some sensible defaults for you, so yeah, Brasaro ftw!

Clear, concise and explained very well. I like the way you suggest to use a GUI for the burning of the DVD too, since doing it by command line can be unpredictable at times. Just one point to add, I never created the DVD image files on FAT32 either. It looked like all the files were named uppercase but after burning the disk had mixed case filenames and never worked in a standalone player. Maybe it is something to do with my setup and config? But anyway, something for your readers to be wary of. Nice write up!
