I'm not familar with an '.img' file. You can test if it a regular .iso file by trying to mount it as a loopback device as root:

If you do not already have a temporary mount directory, create one:

# mkdir /mnt/temp

Mount the iso file in the /mnt/temp directory:
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 TheNameOfYourFile.img /mnt/temp
The check th /mnt/temp directory to see if this works.
If this works, then the '.img' file is a regular cdrom '.iso' file.
An '.iso' file is a cd image.
The easiest way to burn an '.iso' file is with cdrecord.
I wrote a how-to here:
