I've got an Iso file of 6.3GB...is there any way I can burn this to a DVD? If not, what's the point of making those ISOs bigger than 4.7GB?

You need to have a dual-layer DVD rewriter and a dual-layer blank DVD to burn that iso.

You need a dual layer DVD, which are very expensive. It comes out to be like 2 bucks a disk.

well, you *could* just download something like Daemon Tools, which lets you mount ISOs as if they were on disks.
