If you want to burn the Windows 10 ISO to a DVD, you will need to use an 8.5GB dual layer DVD (DVD-DL) disk, the ISO does not fit on a standard 4.7GB DVD disk.

But honestly, the most successful method to create a bootable Windows 10 disk is to use an empty 8GB USB flash drive, it is more reliable and also much faster to install Windows from.
