Well, you *are* a bit inconsistent.
You said that you burned the image to the disk and then finalized the
disk. If you actually burned it as disk image to the DVD as I
described, finalizing would *not* be an option - the image itself is
already finalized.
Typically (meaning within my experience :-)), to burn an image to disk,
you have to go to the option for setting the source drive, and set it
to a disk image instead of a physical drive. Then you can select the
image to copy it to DVD *as an image*. I can't point you to where this
is, since I have no familiarity with Roxio.
I *can* tell you that the interface design of the CD/DVD programs I
have used is uniformly confusing.
