xcdroast does not like DVD+R drives

OK, I managed to add rpms.xcyb.org and ayo.freshrpms.net to my up2date
config and get k3b installed.

Everything seems to work real sweet and k3b has a great interface.  I
guess since I will only be writing 2 DVDs a week instead 8 CDs I don't
*really* need to script it.

One major thing though.  Is there an upper limit on individual file
sizes on DVDs?

One the files I just burnt to DVD was 2.4GB in size and the whole
burning process seemed to be happy with that size but the resultant size
reading back the new DVD is only 5.2MB and naturally fails when I try to
use it :(
