But staying inside Linux, I wanted to copy the 4.4GB image as a
file to a DVD
through k3b. That also failed with an error message that Files more
than 4GB could not be copied.
Googling for k3b 4GB file limit pointed me here ->

It appears that K3B defaults to the ISO filesystem which has the 4GB
limit. If you make your DVD formatted as UDF there are no such
limits.
I found this <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9660> to be an
interesting read - learnt something new today :)
Interestingly, I am able to mount the distro DVDs (4.4GB in size) using
the ISO format:
$ df -H T (note the -H)
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
.... snip ...
/dev/loop1 iso9660 4.6G 4.6G 0
100% /mnt/loop/openSUSE-11.1-i586
/dev/loop2 iso9660 4.7G 4.7G 0
100% /mnt/loop/openSUSE-11.1-x86_64
$df -hT (note the -h)
.... snip ...
/dev/loop1 iso9660 4.3G 4.3G 0 100% /mnt/loop/openSUSE-11.1-i586
/dev/loop2 iso9660 4.4G 4.4G 0
100% /mnt/loop/openSUSE-11.1-x86_64
