Terry,
The checksums are perfect. What I am probably looking for is anyone who CAN burn that iso to a blank DVD-R or DVD+R. If Brasero won't do it, is it because the iso image is just every-so-slightly too large?
In this particular situation, dd-ing the image to an 8GB thumb drive is not a player because the target machine is a 2011 vintage Dell PowerEdge that does not support booting from thumb drives.

I've been there, but was never offered a T-shirt. If my imperfect memory serves, the solution was Netboot.

There's a bunch of bugs. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/brasero/-/issues
Pretty sure last time I burned a DVD-RW I used wodim from the command line.

Hmm, I've got a vintage 2006 Dell laptop that boots from a USB stick. There might have been a BIOS setting to enable it.

According to wikipedia DVD-R gets you the closest: 4,707,319,808 (MAX)
CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso bytes: 4,712,300,544
It's only slightly over, it's possible that at least k3b and maybe xfburn supports 'overburn' . (I remember this more from the CD days than DVD though).
Otherwise I wonder if you could use 'ISO Master' and downsize it slightly.

Anthony,
THANK YOU. Yours is precisely the answer I was looking for. That iso file should never have been released as part of the general distribution.
I wonder how I could ask for that iso to be rebuilt to a size that fits on a blank DVD.

If by DVD-R DL you mean "dual layer", that's an 8.5GB media. I just tried using k3B with a Verbatim DVD-R 4.7GB blank disk. In the Burn Medium block it says "Capacity of the medium in ThinkPad Ultraslim DVD (/dev/sr0) is smaller than required".

Chris,
Totally different BIOS. This is for a PowerEdge server, and it's running the latest v1.12 release from last summer. There's no option for booting a thumb drive. A Google search confirmed that.

This would be my first attempt at using the CentOS bug tracking system, and I gotta say it is one of the most complicated I've ever seen.
Could anyone familiar with that system please file a bug on my behalf? Particulars:
"CentOS 7.9.2009 DVD iso image too large"
ISO image: CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso 4.7GB raw CD image Wed Nov 4 05:37:25 2020 Burners: Both K3B and Brasero Media: Both DVD-R and DVD+R single-layer disks
iso image: 4,712,300,544 bytes User Anthony F McInerney advises Wikipedia says DVD-R capacity: 4,707,319,808 bytes (max)
Incidentally, I have tried burning this same iso image on two different machines: a CentOS 7.9 server and a Fedora 33 laptop. Same failure on both.
Thanks,

Doc:
Not certain what to say. I go to one of the mirrors and pretend to download Centos-7-x86_64-DVD-2009.iso and the size is listed as 4712300544 bytes or @4.7 gigs. Its that "little bit over" the 4.7 stated capacity of the Verbatim DVD-R that requires the DVDV-R DL.
I also checked my DVDs and see that the last install I did was from Centos 7.8.2003 and not 7.9.2009, apologies for not checking before.
I saved the ISO download on a archive hard drive and here are the sizes of the Download: [paul@birdinhand ISO_Centos7dot8]$ lf CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso sha256sum_expected.txt HOW_TO_SHA256SUM.txt sha256sum_gotten.txt [paul@birdinhand ISO_Centos7dot8]$ lall CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso -rw-rw-r--. 1 paul paul 4781506560 Oct 29 14:39 CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso [paul@birdinhand ISO_Centos7dot8]$ du -sH -BM CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso 4561M CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso [paul@birdinhand ISO_Centos7dot8]$ du -sH -BG CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso 5G CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-2003.iso [paul@birdinhand ISO_Centos7dot8]$
Your email says you "I just tried using k3B with a Verbatim DVD-R 4.7GB blank disk". I think you will have to get a DVD-R DL

You could always grab an earlier iso such as from
https://vault.centos.org/7.7.1908/isos/x86_64/
Burn/Install that, and then update.
Or use the NetInstall DVD.

There is a program called "PlopBootmgr" that can be installed on a CD that will allow systems to boot from a usb drive that don't have that as a boot option.
