Burn ISO to DVD-R

You can burn an ISO to any of the following: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM. So pretty much any recordable media can be used to burn ISO images.
 
You'll have an interesting time trying to burn a CD-ISO to a DVD or vice versa though :) (common sense but i figured id toss it out there)

i was kinda hoping he would figure that out on his own, lol. but hes right, you can only burn an DVD-ISO to a DVD, and CD-ISO to a CD.
 
As super_nova said, a general rule of thumb is if its over 700MB, then its most likely a DVD ISO, if its under 700MB, then its probably a CD.
 
Well. If it's bigger than 700mb it's probably a DVD iso. If not then it's probably a CD iso.

Agreed but i will point out that Super_Nova's comment is specifc to ISO files ONLY and not CD Images as a general principle. BIN/MDF/BWT/etc files very regularly exceed 700MB (and often 800MB) yet still fit on CDs (why? because they operate on 2532bytes/sector instead of 2048bytes/sector as ISOs do)

Have a lookie at Ku-Sama's reply

Yeah. So stay on topic.

Thay may be the case, but this thread is about ISO images, not other types. And im sure he'll remember that if the time comes :)

Im aware however I'm looking at the long term lifespan of this thread and its potential to impact casual browsers. (since you've not realized, ISO is also general term to refer to disc images as a whole).

:)
 
If you just want to see\use the files embedded in the ISO file, you can open and extract the files from the ISO file with WinRAR
