Only "hybrid" ISOs that specifically have MBR/GPT stuff can be dumped onto a disk and actually boot. Part of the confusion here is because a lot of modern Linux distros (especially Debian based distros) have started using "hybrid" ISOs instead of providing separate usb stick images. In order to make a bootable usb stick from UBCD, you need to either hand-format the stick and set up your own boot loader, or use the scripts they provide.
