Where did you get that file from?
Do you have the actual disk? Just use the disk copy function. It usually works.
The size is the how windows sees the disk. That disk is a real oddball setup. It has 4 partitions that I know of. It has a windows readable area, beos native and apple macos area along with boot area. Those beos guys really did a number on that.

I know of no one that converted a BeOS format to a true .ISO file. BeOS used an odd format and no burner knows it native.
The way most people do it is with a .cue file that is used on nero. Otherwise they use a unix like program to write track one and track two.
Consider other choices. BeOS MAX has a more updated choice and it comes with instructions.
