Sorry I was too fast in my previous answer.
I see 2 issues in your operation:

- PubWare.exe is not an ISO image
- PubWare.exe is not large enough, you should not burn something shorter
  than 1GB cause a lot of DVD-ROM player may have problem to read it.

The procedure described in the DVD burning section of the Handbook works
fine with 4.10  Please double check everything (in reading the mentioned
section) and check if your drive has no compatibility issue with
growisofs (the URL is given in the Handbook).
