Installing ubutu 14.04 on Windows 64 - gettting Windows Disk Image Burner pop-up -file too big to put on CD

Question

I downloaded the ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso file to my Windows 7 disk drive and tried to open it. I then get a Windows Disk Image Burner pop-up.

When I try to proceed, it errors out saying the file is too big for a CD. How do I get past this?

Either use a DVD or a 4GB USB the instructions for creating a Live USB are in the Ubuntu web page. — user68186, Aug 31 '15 at 17:22
Also if you only have a CD, you can get a CD image for 12.04.5 LTS (supported till 2017) here http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ — Mark Kirby, Aug 31 '15 at 17:33

As the iso image is too big for a CD insert a DVD.

You can write to a DVD as cl-netbox said in his answer.

On the other hand, if your machine doesn't have a DVD writer:

use a USB stick

or
download the minimal install 64-bit and burn that to a CD.

The minimal install will however download everything it needs from the Internet, so it will be much slower to install though...
