How to Burn an ISO Image to a DVD on Vista

How to Burn an ISO Image to a DVD on Vista thumbnail
Recordable DVD

A DVD ISO image is an archive image designed to be burned onto a recordable DVD. Windows Vista does not have a native method for burning an ISO image to a DVD. There are three freely available third party applications that can be installed that will allow you to do this. ISO Recorder 3 and Magic ISO are graphical programs. The Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools provide a command line utility.

    Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools

    • 13

      Download and install the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools (see Resources for link). The installer will say there is an error when installing this software on Windows Vista. Click the "Accept" button to continue the installation anyway.

    • 14

      Navigate to the "C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits" folder in the Windows Explorer file browser.

    • 15

      Press the "Shift" key on your keyboard and right-click on the "Tools" folder simultaneously.

    • 16

      Choose the "Open Command Window Here" option. This will open a command prompt window.

    • 17

      Type the command "dvdburn D: file.iso" to burn the ISO image. Replace the "D:" in the command with the drive name for your DVD burner if necessary. Replace "file.iso" with the correct name of the ISO image.
