Insert a blank DVD into your burner. A CD/DVD Creator, Choose Disc Type or Blank Disc window might pop up. Close this, because you will not be using it.

16.04 and later no longer comes with a CD/DVD burner, so install Brasero Disc Burner. Open the terminal and type:
```
 sudo apt install brasero
```
Open Brasero and click on the Burn image button.
Select the ISO you downloaded in the Select a disc image to write box and your DVD drive in the Select a disc to write to box and click the Burn button.

Once the DVD is burned, you can restart your computer and try or install Ubuntu.

Let me see if I got it right, you have an Ubuntu image file and you want to burn it into a DVD. Right?

If so, just open your Dash menu click on Applications (the icon with an "A" in the bottom) and in "Filter" look for "Media" an application called Brasero Disk Burner will show up, just click it and burn you image.

Doubts? Follow this tutorial (click in the image for a fullsize version).

Hi ZigndBy, Thanks for the answer. By using the above procedure can we make bootable DVD of Ubuntu? – udaykumar Jun 13 '13 at 14:24
@udaykumar yes you can! A Ubuntu bootable DVD is nothing but a simple iso burned into a DVD/CD. The option you need to choose on Brasero is the last on the list at the left side called "Burn image". – Zignd Jun 13 '13 at 22:38
Note that on Xenial/16.04 Brasero is no longer installed by default, so you won't find it. – Kzqai Apr 08 '17 at 23:13

You could install k3b, too :

sudo apt install k3b

When you create a bootable CD/DVD in k3b, simply drag-and-drop the iso-image from the above file-window into the below window of the to-burn-CD/DVD.

Or you can use the command wodim in a terminal to burn a bootable CD/DVD.

Install if necessary :

sudo apt install wodim

Then :

cd ~/Downloads
wodim -v -eject name-of-file.iso

Variables are case-sensitive on *nix, so replace $user with $USER. – wjandrea Oct 22 '17 at 17:35
