Interesting question. How does that work mechanically ?
A special drive ? An adapter frame for a normal drive ?

At least there is no difference between CD and normal sized DVD.
I use the same mkisofs commands for both.
I can copy a CD to DVD+/- by a command like
dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2k | growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=/proc/self/fd/0
(modulo cruel effects on your IDE if both drives share a controller)
Similar can be done with cdrecord-ProDVD , of course.
That DVD will be mountable and show the same ISO tree as the CD.
I did not try this with bootable CDs, though.
Have a nice day :)
