Burn a 4.2 GB file to DVD

I want to burn a 4.2GB file to a dvd on my Mac (OSX 10.5). I know I can split the file into smaller pieces, but I prefer to keep it as one file. I don't mind that I cannot use Joliet or ISO 9660. The dvd should be accessible from Linux or OSX afterwards.

Thanks for all your replies. I created a encrypted disc volume of 4481 mb, then used hdiutil to create an UDF iso image. You don't need Toast for this.

For hdiutil see: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070612161317338
The conversion by hdiutil results in a slightly larger file (1,00024*).
