I'm trying to inject a 4GB hard drive backup image file into a bootable DVD ISO image.  The problem is that UI cuts the image file down to 2GB which makes it useless to my backup software.

Is this a limitation of UI or am I doing something wrong?

TIA

As far as I known, that sounds more like a limitation of the FAT32 file system. Try saving the image on a NTFS partition, and see if it still happens. It should work (NTFS3+ do not have the 2GB file limit)

UI 7.21 does support 4GB single file in a DVD image. Please make sure the size of your hard disk image is below 4,294,967,296 Bytes (not break 4194304KB in UI 'size' column).

Okay, thanks for the information.  It is an NTFS file system on Windows XP Pro-SP2.  Do you know if UI will ever update to overcome the file size limitation?  Now that dual laywer DVD recordables are on the market, it would be nice not to have this issue to contend with.

Thanks again...

Sorry, the 4GB limitation will keep there until a new ISO international standard with 64bit support comes out.
