I didn't see that in the name... Therefore I didn't know it was an issue. Meanwhile I downloaded another image and finally found a bugzilla which said the problem was related to checksum generation for the image. I turned off the checksum and was successful in writting the DVD image, but the system I wanted to check would not boot from its DVD, due to a bios restriction. I then came back to my system and attempted to burn a cdrom, with no success. Then I added K3b to my system and used it to burn the cdrom, and succeeded. It appears that brasero has some fundamental problems, and the error #12 was returned in all cases of trying to burn the image, and the image would not work. However by turning off the checksum plugin of brasero, I was able to get a dvd and by loading and running k3b I was able to get a CD, so I now have both, and a lot of "junk" disks which brasero never finalized, which I have tossed out. I'm a dim bulb when it comes to these cd and dvd formats, so I will look up the differences. But I do realize that the raw form of the iso image must include the disk structure, so it would be unlikely to work.
