unless the image is over the capacity of a DVD, what would prevent the success of an

We did have a bug a couple years ago or so, where the ISO written to
USB booted fine, but when burned to optical media wouldn't boot
anything including VM. It was a bootloader bug, if I recall correctly
- pretty sure it hit BIOS firmware only, not UEFI.
IIRC it would even boot when attached as a 'virtual' disc to a VM - it
was only when actually written to physical spinning discs that it
failed to work. That was a fun bug.
