>From the source code of groisofs.c:

 * - DVD+R Double Layer support;
 * - -use-the-force-luke=3D4gms to allow ISO9660 directory structures
 *   to cross 4GB boundary, the option is effective only with DVD+R DL
 *   and for data to be accessible under Linux isofs a kernel patch is
 *   required;

So I'm guessing it does something non standard, particularly if
windows also refuses to see the data.
