.IMG is an image file ready for burning, similar to .ISO, UltraISO will open these files and allow you to extract the contents or something like Alcohol 120% will burn it straight to disk

as above.
Use MagicISO to mount the img as a virtual drive then away you go.
Obviously do a AV scan on the "disc" as soon as it's mounted just in case it isn't what you think it is!!!! Some nasties hide themselves in formats the virus checkers can't read- not sure if most AV progs handle .IMG files....

For compatability just rename it from .IMG to .ISO

Then just about any imaging software and CD/DVD burning program will be able to read it.

Personally I use Daemon Tools to mount an ISO images stored on the hard disk.

DVD Decrypter is a good free app too.
