After downloading the .iso file use ImgBurn or Gear ISO to create a bootable DVD.

ImgBurn - In addtion to supporting the creation of Cds/DVDs from .ISO files,
it supports a wide range of other image file formats, and it's free.

Note: Always use the slowest burn speed (4x or 2x) if offered a choice.

For Bootable from flash drive :

You can also use Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to make a bootable DVD or flash drive (make sure its at least 4gb)

The bootable USB is much quicker for installs than the DVD in my experience.
