See

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660#The_4_GiB_.28or_2_GiB_depending_on_implementation.29_file_size_limit

Some operating systems can handle files up to 4GB on an ISO 9660
filesystem, and other operating systems can handle more than 4GB. But
if you want your ISO 9660 filesystem to be fully portable, you should
stick to the 2GB limit.
