Windows 10 image too large for Brasero to burn. How can I get around this?

I have just downloaded a Windows10 image:

$ du --bytes Win10_1709_German_x64.iso

4710961152  Win10_1709_German_x64.iso

It is slightly too large to burn it to a dvd (4.7gb) with Brasero.

Is there a way to force burning the disc, using some additional space on the disc or shrinking the iso?

Use K3B as brasero doesn't appear to support overburn. Go to Settings->Advanced and check the allow overburn box as shown below:

k3b is available for all currently supported versions of Ubuntu in the Universe repository. To obtain it First enable Universe then issue the following commands in the terminal

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install k3b

or use your favorite package manager.
