Given that at least one of the mentioned utilities, Isomaster, is
expressly created for the purpose of burning ISO images, I'd say the
first comment is uncalled for.
The release notes state:
The i386 DVD is just a bit too large to fit on normal single
layer DVD+R media. It can be burnt successfully on DVD-R
or dual-layer media.
Making images that are this close to capacity should be seen as a
mistake and hopefully the same will not be made with the 6.1 release.
It is extremely easy to predict that this will cause problems for
people, so why invite such issues with something as simple as ISO
burning?
