I know other folks offered other programs, but since you have a Windows machine you may check to see if you have Nero (it seems to come bundled with the PC more and more often nowadays). Nero 6 came with my Alienware and it has a specific .iso burning utility that's fairly easy to find in the Smart Start window that pops up when you select Nero. Besides that you may try DVD Shrink. It's free, just search for it online. It handles CD/DVD ripping and burning.
