They see a file that isn't a .iso file and like a good gui they figure
you want to put that file into an ISO filesystem.  Rename the file to
.iso and Brasero will do what you expect.

THIS is why you should use the command line.

The .iso is a straight disk image, what you'd get if you did a dd from the
raw disk device.  Your .img file is the same.

Now, you have a second problem on Windows, in that you're using something
that checks to see that it's a recognizable filesystem, which it is not.
Because Windows doesn't know anything about VMS filesystems.
