The file your burning doesnot have any problem it is the limitation of the iso9660 file system.

Even if you try to burn any avi file larger than 2gb you will face same problem...

shivranjan is absolutely right

its the limitation of the iso9660 file

Use ISOBUSTER to extract all files/folders from the .ISO to you hard disk. Or, mount it using Daemon Tools and do the same.

Use Nero to burn these backed up files/folders.

its a bOOTable DVD ISO... now if i do extract it then i am afraid that i might not b able to find the boot image to write it as BOOT disk...

PS. Mods pls move it to Softwere TroubleShooting section...

That complicates things a bit. Like Kniwor said, you could open it with Alcohol and save it to a different format - UDF, Alcohols .MDS. Try burning it with Alcohol.

Hi,

You can use other burning tool, for example ISO-burner utility. It works great and is free. It is extremely easy to use so you can give it a try

I have also faced the same problem twice. However the iso files in my case were not bootable and hence I extracted them with Ultra ISO and burnt them with NERO as data DVD.

In your case however, Alcohol would be a good option :cool:
Or you can also try out Img Burn
