if the iso is larger than 700mb, than it's a dvd iso and should be burned to a dvd. but if it's less than or 700mb, than is should be burned to a cd. the file system characteristics of bootable cds make it necessary to keep the same file and size structures.

Yes, you can burn the Ubuntu install CD information to a DVD.
The key to making it work is standard like any other ISO, that its "burned" as bootable and not "copied" as an iso file.
The reason its called a CD version is it fits on a CD unlike most of the other common distro's that either need several CD's or one DVD because of the amount of data that comes along with the distribution as standard.

Yes, if you can find the DVD iso for your flavour of Linux. It sounds like you have downloaded Ubuntu Linux, an excellent choice!
If you go to their website, you can order free CD's and they ship very quickly. No shipping charges either (really free), thanks Ubuntu!
The ISO File contains everything needed to auto-boot.
