Freesbie <http://www.freesbie.org>; is still available, though I have never used it myself and cannot say what, if any, GUI it provides. Note that if your software reports that the ISO files you have been trying to burn to DVD are too large, it may be that you are trying to burn them as files, rather than burning them as disk images. Make sure your software is set to do the latter. Good luck.
