You have to try it. Some standalone players don't have a problem, some do.
Every player can handle 1 GB, everything bigger is something you need to try with your own player.

And you have to burn in UDF-mode, coz the ISO-mode has a 2GB filesize limit... ;)

ok, thx for replies. but is someone ever played a file higher than 2Gb on his own divxplayer ? on french forums (i'm french), i can read dvd/divx players aren't able to play files 2Gb< cause they can't read DVD in UDF mode.

Oh Oh...
There is one glaring problem here. If you record in Nero AVC, no player available today will play it. Only MPEG 4 ASP players are available today. Keep your eyes open though. Some of the chips in use do have AVC capabilities, and there are hints of them being enabled. (See the zensonic thread)
