I downloaded the Fedora-Live-Desktop.iso and mounting the image produces the following directories.

Now how can I make a bootable DVD from this image ? I don't think burning this Fedora-Live-Desktop.iso image file will install Fedora.

To burn the above .iso file you'll need to use software that can 'burn' the .iso file to a DVD.

Take a look at the Wikipedia page titled: List of optical disc authoring software if you do not already have an option available on your system.

If I were to suggest one I'd go with CDBurnerXP. I've used this one for years, it's easy to use, and extremely full featured.

Once you've burned the .iso file to a DVD, you'll need to reboot your system using the DVD as the boot media. Just follow the prompts to do a vanilla install.
