[Macpartners] dvd-r compatibility mac/pc

[Pam Nicholas]

I just discovered that on a Mac the file sizes show as 3.5GB, but on the 
PC they're 2GB. The files crash at the 1GB mark on the PC. I remember 
there was an issue with files over 1GB on windows in the past, but I 
thought that was on FAT volumes.
