It is something like "Burn from Image" and it brings up a popup. The default is not *.iso but there is a pull down and when you click the down arrow and you will find iso's listed there. I tried to install a copy of Easy CD Creator 5 that I had, but had never installed, so I could capture an image but it won't install properly. It also will not recognize my HP 8100i as a burner. Some people have reported in the past that all you had to do was click the iso and it brings up the CD burner software. I started to collect that information as a web page (http://users.owt.com/kstewart/freebsd/iso-images.html) but have fallen behind on the latest versions. I quit updating to Adaptec/Roxio because they usually broke the latest release of Windows such as W2K for a time after a release. I think they don't do that anymore but I also have Nero-5.5.8 on my faster CDROM burner systems and they provide free upgrades as needed. As I upgrade systems, I hunt for new burners that supply Nero. When XP was release, email from Roxio indicated that you would have to buy an upgrade from to go from W2K (EzCD 5.0) to XP (EzCD 5.1).
