It may be that the cd9660 filesystem cannot correctly represent files
over 2gb, so mkisofs skips files larger than that. Mkisofs explicitly
rejects files over 2^31 bytes:
tree.c:1520
if (S_ISREG(lstatbuf.st_mode) && (lstatbuf.st_size >= (off_t)0x7FFFFFFF)) {
errno = EFBIG;
errmsg("File %s is too large - ignoring\n", whole_path);
