Description Carsten Lohrke 2007-07-16 00:31:25 UTC

Version:           1.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

K3B claims that it's not possible to add files larger than 4 gb. Well, mine is exactly 4 gb, so either the file check or the error message is wrong. Also what I do wonder about (being not literate about the cd/dvd standards), why a DVD is claimed to hold 4,4 gb data, when this isn't true for a single file. Is this due to redundany against scratches and fingerprints or a limitation of filesize in the standard?
