Somewhere in your burn toolkit there _should_ be a simple "burn

It's there, but it's burried and called something totaly weird, some
Windows doublespeak crap. It's not in any of the normal burn menus. Last
time I had to use Roxio, I was reduced to a gibbering screaming maniac
before I found the !@#$%^&* option.

k3b is *so* much nicer.

I'd say that's some of the problem. The original poster is using software
that I sure don't have, so what should be a simple thing, just looking
at what's available, isn't an option for me, and likely others too.


This got me curious....

Roxio (at least the one on my XP box) installed about 20 *different* programs.

To create a CD/DVD from .iso, you don't use the disk creator, but the disk copier. <sarcasm> This should be obvious to everyone, right? </sarcasm>

Then you click on the "Advanced" option, and in the "Source" pane, you select "Disc Image or DVD video folder", click on "Select" and pick your ISO.

Then in the destination pane you select "Recorder", which, presumably shows your DVD burner.

Click on "Burn" and cross your fingers.

Like I said, k3b is much easier.
