Does DVD format matter when burning Windows 7?

I have some expensive verbatim DVD+R DL. I was wondering if dvd format matters because I don’t want to waste it if it will mess up anyway.
Answer #1
No. Just make sure it’s big enough to support the OS, obviously. And make sure the one you’re downloading works perfectly, so read comments, etc.
Usually the pre-activated ones always work perfectly. I’ve been using a pre-activated version of 64bit ultimate for over 3 months now.
Good luck.
Edit – Also make sure never to burn an OS to a disk faster than 4x speeds. Reasons being is since it’s an OS you want it to take its time burning so you have a flawless install.

Oh yea the copy I’ve used works great but I had been installing it with my Ipod and its such a hassle I figured I’ll just put it on a dvd. I use those DVD+r DL for xbox so didn’t want to waste if it would mess up..
So if I’m using IMGburn should i just load the iso or will i need a .dvd file?
Answer #3
That is an 8GB disk, if you have just a singe layer dvd (4.7gb) then use that instead. However it doesn’t matter which media you choose, it will work.
EDIT: Just burn the .ISO then when your bios loads up, select booting options (usually F12) and select the DVD drive. Hope this helps
Answer #4
Nope, just burn the .ISO right to the DVD and it’ll work fine.
Answer #5
yeah,- i second that. Burn at low speed to be sure., But if you dont wanna waist discs. And you have 2 internal ‘HDD in your pc. then why not just use a virtual disc tool? Look at the tutorial in my sig if you wanna know what i mean. Easy as h**- anyways – lyck with the burning.
