I can only answer the second question:
The NTSF file system, for example with Windows XP, handles larger
files. The 4GB limit is with FAT32.

Some 32bit software still has that limit even though
NTFS files do not.

There's no problem handling video files of 22GB on XP with NTFS - typical
file size off my local HDTV is 15GB for a MPEG TS format.
The problem the OP has is to decide how to downscale to DVD definition
standard. Maybe he could use as a starting off point HDTVtoMPEG2 this will
reduce the resolution to 576i. Then any DVD authoring program should be able
to make the vob files within the VIDEO_TS folder etc but still the overall
size may be too large to burn so then use DVDShrink to bring it back to
4.3GB. Maybe the project should be split over 2 or 3 DVD's? All of this is
Windows, don't know about Linux.
