This seems like a stupid question, I know, but can I take a DVD+R and use that as a .iso image DVD and then boot a program from the bios with it? If not, what type of CD do I need?

---

AFAIK, the type of medium the ISO file is on is irrelevant so long as it is a bootable ISO.

Not quite sure what you mean by boot a program from bios with it?

Do you mean boot an ISO image as if it was a physical dvd?
It's tricky but can be done with Grub2 http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2009/05/25/boot-an-iso-via-grub2/

edit - sorry misunderstood.
If you just want to make a physical DVD from an iso image then just right click on the iso and select "burn image" in Windows7. Or your DVD writing software probably has a burn ISO option.

Note this is different from copying an ISO onto a DVD - you need to burn it as an image so the format inside the iso is copied to the dvd as a whole
