I used DVD Flick v2, which I think makes the files and then uses Imgburn to burn it to a DVD. I always get a write error:

If I let it retry all 20 times it does the same thing.
I thought it might be the write speed, I tried 4x, 2x, 2.4x, 1x, 56x (or whatever the highest one is), and "MAX", it always did the same thing. I'm not sure if I actually got it to write at those speeds or if I just thought I set it to.
I just updated it, and now it just stops at erasing it.
I believe I used the normal Windows thing to put files onto a CD a long time ago, I just dragged and dropped it like as if it was a USB flash drive, and it worked. I am using the same drive now.
