I have just downloaded a Windows10 image:

$ du --bytes Win10_1709_German_x64.iso
4710961152  Win10_1709_German_x64.iso

It is slightly too large to burn it to a dvd (4.7gb) with Brasero.

brasero dialog data size is too large for the disc

Is there a way to force burning the disc, using some additional space on the disc or shrinking the iso?

Use K3B as brasero doesn't appear to support overburn. Go to Settings->Advanced and check the allow overburn box as shown below:

k3b is available for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu in the Universe repository. To obtain it First enable Universe then issue the following commands in the terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install k3b

or use your favorite package manager.

I managed to burn the iso using growisofs from the package dvd+rw-tools:

 $ growisofs -overburn --dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=Win10_1709_German_x64.iso 
Executing 'builtin_dd if=Win10_1709_German_x64.iso of=/dev/sr0 obs=32k seek=0'

It will expectedly throw out some errors but installing Windows 10 from this disc was successful.
