Is it not possible that your image is *TOO BIG* ?  Remember that a DVD
is 4.7 million bits, which is about 4.37gigabytes.  You didn't say exactly
what problem you're having, but this might be it if you're attempting to
burn the image and failing.

BTW, you might check out growisofs, I use it for all my DVD burning, it's
great, and has a built-in mkisofs routine.
