Actually, one can burn any kind of file to DVD. Even a tarball.
Not tarballs >= 2GB. I've had to use "split" to reduce them to
something < 2GB in size and write the individual split files into an ISO

re-read them back into the original large file when I want to access it.

This should work, I accudently did something akin to that with a CD some

growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=big.tar
