Okay so I burned an ISO file onto a DVD+R using Roxio 10, but it isn't playing anywhere. How can I make the DVD play, whether on my computer or on a DVD player?
it autoruns but when i try to play it on windows media it can't read it. when i open it in a file it shows a bunch of stuff in BUP., IFO., and VOB. format.

ISO represents a CD / DVD image. You should not burn the .ISO like any other file on a data disc. Instead, you should burn its "contents".
One single ISO file on a DVD will not work. You should install some "disc image burning" program (like Nero, or Alcohol 120%, or if you have Windows Vista / 7, you won't need a third-party program), then just open the ISO (or in Nero, select the option "CD/DVD Image", then select the ISO file), and then just click "Burn"... After the burn process completes, you should now see several files on your DVD (if it's a DVD movie, you should see the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders), instead of the single .ISO file.
