    I'm trying to burn a file that is bigger than 2 GB.

    It says I must burn it in UDF mode.

    Can anyone tell me what is the difference between UDF and ISO mode?
    I don't want to waste a DVD+R for just 2GB, I would like to burn other files into it as well like I did for ISO mode, to maximise the use of it.

    From the Glossary:

    Basically, you shouldn't have any trouble if you just want to stick with UDF. It's not like you can't fit other stuff on your disc or like you can't do multi-session. You can. ISO format is just historically more widely-accepted, but I don't know of any modern DVD player or computer that will spit out a UDF disc.
