An ISO image is an archive file that digital contains all of the contents from a physical recordable optical disc such as CD or DVD. Anybody who has downloaded a big installation package of system or game from the internet will often find it coming in the form of an ISO image file. It is very useful because you can store data in it and distribute it to users to burn and use locally.
To burn an ISO image file to Blu-ray or DVD disc in Mac or PC's for use with your BD/DVD player, you will need a utility that handles disc burning. While Mac OS X used to offer its own disc burning program iDVD ever to create a DVD, there are many of free Windows-based programs (ImgBurn, InfraRecorder ...) available for you to copy the ISO image to DVD. But most of those free burning programs out there have no options to create Blu-ray from ISO file, no matter what operating systems you are running, Mac OS X or Windows.
