If you do a directory of the DVD and only see one file, you haven't done
it right. You should see a number of folders on the DVD. If you need
a program that will correctly unpack the ISO to a DVD try this

It's free and it works great!

Please make sure you burn the ISO with the lowest speed possible as some
people get write errors otherwise.

And would you be so kind to post the error message which is comming up?

1 - Did you _verify_ your downloaded ISO ?
2 - Did you _verify_ your DVD after your writer-software
wrote the image to a empty disc ?

3 - What is the error message, and at what stage do you get it ?
