You're confused,Fat 16 had a small HD PARTITION size limit, that's
nothing to do with filesize. Fat32 will not handle the full size of a
DVD's ISO image, so DVDs can't be copied or created as a data image.
Video DVD IFO sets can be created and burned, since each file is no
larger than 1 Gig, but that restricts the uses for which a DVD burner
can be used.
