I don't know k9copy, is there a way to have it use another directory than /tmp, e.g. by a command-line option or by setting TMPDIR? If not, you should file a bug report to the k9copy authors, because putting huge files in /tmp is just plain wrong. These days it makes sense to mount /tmp on a tmpfs filesystem, and writing DVD images there thwarts this possibility.
