Can you be somewhat more specific? What is the error that you get?
Is your system set up to boot from DVD?

Does the checksum of the DVD image match the one that you can find on the FTP
site? 

If you run 'file' on the image, does it say that it is a bootable ISO 9660
filesystem? Ditto for the burned DVD?
