How can I create a bootable DVD iso from a USB drive? [duplicate]

There seems to be a lot of questions / answers about doing the reverse, but not as much info for USB -> DVD.

Problem

I created a bootable USB drive using YUMI.

The USB drive is working great, and contains the following:

  • Linux Mint 13
  • Linux Mint Debian
  • Debian 6
  • Ubuntu 12.04.1
  • Fedora 17

A bit of a mix of DVD and Live versions.

I have a spindle of DVD+R DL blank DVD's. I would like to create a bootable .iso from this USB drive so I can burn multiple copies of it to pass around to friends!

I've created an iso using Folder2ISO, but it coastered my DVD because it wasn't bootable. I don't really want to waste a whole spindle!

How would you go about doing such a thing?


Never tried it in reverse, but let us know if this works:

  1. Download and install ImgBurn.

  2. Follow this guide to enter and set appropriate options for Build Mode.

  3. Follow the steps indicated below to first Create Boot Image from the USB drive, ensure the Make Image Bootable option is checked, set the Emulation Type to Hard Disk and select the previously created Boot Image.

  4. Burn, test and report back!

    ImgBurn - Advanced - Create Bootable Disc


On newer version of ImgBurn just go to:

  1. Build > Mode
  2. Advanced > Extract Boot Image > Inform path and filename to .iso
