I tried running 'isoinfo' on the dvd (from the cdrecord pkg)

on Alpha:
-r--r--r--   1    0    0      2149588992 Oct 30 2004 [1225476 00] FOO
on i386:
-r--r--r--   1    0    0      -2145378304Oct 30 2004 [1225476] FOO

since here the Alpha does get the size right it seems like the on-disk
value is probably ok. Unless isoinfo itself always truncates the size to
the lowest 32 bits.
