So I torrented a game recently. (In my defence, it's in Japanese and, to my knowledge, unavailable where I live!) In the torrent I got a bunch of RAR files which I unzipped into one folder. In there was two things: a ZIP file containing an ISO file, and a MDS file. I tried using the image burning software (which I hope was the right thing to do; I am really ignorant when it comes to things like this, haha...) for both the ZIP and the MDS, but both times it failed.
The MDS burning failed pretty much instantly, with the log here:

The ISO burning went for a few minutes until about 20%, then failed. Sorry, but I couldn't get the log file for this, as I forgot to save it the first time, and by the second time...well, see my second question.
(For what it's worth, I literally only downloaded the trial today, just to play this game, and all I've done so far is try those two burnings a couple of times, just in case and 'cause I didn't save the report for the first one the first time. And when I tried to burn them I didn't change any of the parameters - pretty much just went 'next' and 'next'. So I can't have screwed it up too badly, right?
[Famous last words...])Of course, it's perfectly possible that I've just done the wrong thing, lol, in which case how do I put it onto a CD?
SECOND QUESTION:
This isn't directly related to Alcohol and I'm sorry, but when I tried to burn the images onto my CD above (specifically, the ISO) it failed, but not before leaving some files on the CD. Some files I cannot work out how to delete. And then when I tried the Erase Wizard it claimed that the CD was 'not a re-writable disc (DVD-R)'. (Presumably because the files are game files - IRX, AFS, SFD etc.) Is there any way I can get these off and use the CD again?
