Advice re DVD & ISO Files

[HellFire]

Have rec'd  a 2.5 GB ISO file , this is my 1st attempt in burning an image
on DVD, my questions are:

          (A) what's a good blank dvd to purchase for burning images
          (B) would a 4.75  GB be sufficient for the task at hand
          (C) what  & how should I proceed on burning the image
          (D) could I re-use the ISO file after the image is burned on DVD

I'm a complete neophyte on this subject, the more advice/suggestions
I receive the more my learning acumen shall increase.  What are the steps to take & how to execute them?  In essence, I'm asking for a tutorial on the subject.  Pls help & thank you.

The ISO file is still reusable after you burn a cd or DVD from it. Think of it as unzipping the file to the DVD...... the file is still the same and can be reused.

Just open your DVD burning software and select the ISO file to burn. It is just that simple. You will want the DVD closed so it works on all players. Most any brand is fine. If you have an issue you can burn another from the ISO.

Best tool for this task is ImgBurn.

A word of warning - imgburn has built in adware since the version 2.5.8.0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCandy

Well, that sucks.  I have 2.5.5.0.

Also CDBurnerXP, another free image burner, has it. Windows 7 contains a built in iso burner (Windows disc image burner) so it's not necessary to even use these.

To be fair OpenCandy only presents an option to install additional software during installation of the application.

In some cases, not all. It depends how the software developer has packaged the installer. It may install it completely silent or the options are buried behind 'advanced' menu.
