Either default is wrong. The downloaded ISOs are *already* ISO-9660 format;
you need to burn them _as_is_ onto the disk without applying *any* file
system to them whatsoever.
There should be some option to burn an existing ISO (or "disk image" or
something like that) in your CD-RW software. Use that.
What you did instead was to make an ISO filesystem out of the single file
which consitutes the ISO file system. This, of course, can't result in a
bootable disk.
