Does Win 7 still requires copying all files over before burning to a DVD-R or BD-R?

It seems that Win 7 still needs to copy all files over to a folder, before it burns all files to the DVD-R or BD-R?
I think since XP or Vista, Windows always copy everything over to a temporary folder before it will burn to an empty DVD-R. So if you just want to burn a 4GB file to an empty DVD-R, it will first make a copy of that file, and then burn it, instead of just burning it without making a copy first.
And now on Win 7, it seems like it is the case also? Most other 3rd party burning tools won't make an extra copy of the files first... Win 7 is the exception. Is there a way around it?
(to avoid copying over 25GB or 50GB of data before burning)
