Hi: The trick to this is not to open finder. When you insert the blank DVD, instead of selecting to open Finder, you should select the option to open Disk Utility.
Then, when Disk utility opens, select the Burn option from the tool bar, navigate to the .iso image and then it will let you burn it. When you selected the "open Finder' option, it assumes you want to copy files to a burn folder which you will burn to a DVD. This is not what you want if you are working with a .iso or other image file. Hope this helps.
