The md5sum matches, so presumably it's a good file.

The error message depends on how I call Brasero. If I right click on the
file in the gui and choose Braser I get "unknown disk image type". If I
call Brasero and navigate to the iso file It shows "Please select
another image. The format of the disc image could not be identified.
Please set it manually."
