I needed to burn an .iso to a CD and initially looked for a utility under one of the menus. Eventually I stumbled across the Write to Disk utility. As far as I can tell, it's only available when you right-click the image file:
Once you figure that out, it's easy as pie:

And, if you have a Plextor drive, you may use
"driveropts=burnfree" in addition to the above options.
Simple and efficient. Never waste your time with having to click around to burn optical media again!

FWIW, the ISO burning option isn't only available on right-click. You can select Go->Burn Folder in the file manager, or Places->CD/DVD Creator on the desktop menu bar (the terminology inconsistency is a known bug!), and drag the ISO file into the resulting window.
When you click "Write to Disc", you'll be given the option to burn either the ISO file, or a data disc containing the ISO file.

Calum, thanks for the pointers. I had wrongly assumed that the burn folder would only create a data disc containing the ISO file.

Cdrecord is more preferable as it gaves sense of "professional".

When you have several .ISO files you have either downloaded from the Internet or saved as .iso files on your hard disk, and you want to burn them to DVD Discs to play on DVD Player, the following guide is going to show you how to burn .ISO files to sorts of DVD discs such as DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R DL, DVD-R DL, DVD-RAM on Mac OS X, especially on Snow Leopard.
