    Imgburn is the way to go http://www.imgburn.com/

    You can also share out a drive from 1 system to another over your network, you could try it that way, but it's usually slow, especially when trying to xfer 5 gigs of information

    Why rip a game when you have the original disc?

    In general there shoudn't be a problem, however if the game uses Securom DRM (or Rootkit/Spyware if you prefer :p) then you may have trouble running it from an ISO as can detect the presence virtual drive.
