They are the same, at least in the Debian world. In Debian .raw is used
to denote ( as the name may imply) a pre-release/preview image etc.
while .iso is reserved for 'official' releases. I made this up from what
I have gleaned from various Debian lists, any inaccuracies are mine :)
If a burning app can't ell the difference just rename the file .raw >
.iso.
