Can I burn Ubuntu CD iso to DVD?

Question

I mean can I burn an Ubuntu ISO that is meant to be burnt in a CD to a DVD because the CD ISO is only 700MB and DVD has 4 times the size so it will definitely fit or do I really need a CD for a CD ISO and a DVD for a DVD ISO.

Answer 1

You need to burn to cd.
If you have the original distro disks, why not just copy these.
As linux is open source, it is perfectly legal to do this.
Alternatively free diskks can be ordered from www.ubuntu.com.
Hope this helps


No disrespect to strawberry, but dvd shrink won't work on data cd's

Answer 2

I have burnt many bootable CD isos without any issues direct to DVDs, including ubuntu.

While this may not be the technically correct way of doing it, and might not work in some DVD-rom drives, in many cases it will work.

The CD or DVD isos are both OK. but the CD iso is a smaller download

Answer 3

should depending on the file if it's a vid cd only but to get around that is to extract the file in the iso image. depend's you left alot of room to decide. it depend's on what's inside the iso image..

Answer 4

you cannot, not because of the size, but because of the different file system from cd [cdf] to dvd [udf]. images made for cdf have to be burnt into a cd, same for udf into a dvd.
