Not to tell you what to do, but if you have a single byte error at
any point in that file, you'll lose the rest of the file. And you
won't know it until minutes upon minutes into reading the file.
Remember, whether we are talking ISO9660 (with RockRidge
extension) or UDF, you still have a full filesystem in the media.
So there's really no need to archive the files into another.
But the compression is much better in most cases compressing the tar
than the individual files. You could make the point that the compressed
tar could be written directly to the DVD without playing with a
filesystem type. In some cases the data might not fit other than as a
compressed tar.
There are reasons for doing the compressed tar thing.
