Burning ISO and IMG files

I've got a Windows 7 IMG file and I'm trying to figure out how to burn it to a DVD. I want it to boot up automatically once I pop it into the DVD-ROM. Can I do the same thing with an ISO file? Like, can I make it so the program just kicks off on its own immediately? Thanks

You’re using a program called ImgBurn to handle that. As for why the disc pops up or launches automatically right after you insert it? That’s actually down to your DVD-ROM drive and how your operating system is set up. Usually, whether you're running Windows 7 or even the old Windows XP, the OS recognizes a disc being popped into the DVD-ROM and just triggers the auto-run to show you the files. Cheers!

So I just hit "burn IMG/ISO file" under the options and that's basically it.

If you watch the video below, you'll see how an ISO file gets burned onto a DVD-R; when I'm using ImgBurn, I usually make sure the burning speed doesn't exceed 8X, especially when I'm burning Windows installers or other critical data to a DVD, and it works without any issues.😁😉

Look, you've got plenty of different options depending on what you're trying to burn. If you're working with an ISO or an IMG file, just pick the "Write image file to disc" option. Once that new window pops up, you need to find your file at the top. Then, look down at the "Destination" section and pick which DVD-ROM you want to use—especially if you have more than one drive plugged into your PC.
Pop a disc in, pick your burning speed. Like my buddy mentioned, if you're burning video content, stick to 8X for the best results. After that, just hit "Write" and you're off to the races!

I've been using PowerISO lately—it’s honestly a great little tool. Just burn whatever you need with it, then head into your BIOS and make sure your DVD-ROM is set as the primary boot device. Once that's set, just pop the disc in, give the computer a quick restart, and you should be all set to see what happens next...

Once that window pops up, look at the top to find the specific file you want to burn, then check the "Destination" at the bottom to pick which CD-ROM drive you're using (especially if you've got more than one plugged into your rig).

Actually, 8x is a bit too fast for DVD burning, and I wouldn't recommend it for ISO files either.
Keep it to 4x max.

By the way, @Psycho—you also have Alcohol 120 and Nero 7 in your toolkit, which are both perfect for burning image/ISO files.
