Can I install an operating system using a DVD image on a USB drive?

For operating system installation images, is there a major difference between DVD and USB images? Can I write an image such as debian-12.11.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso onto a USB and utilize it as I would any other live USB installer? Or are they *somehow* intrinsically different, and I should never utilize a DVD ISO on a USB or vice versa? _________ **Example Usage**:

$ sudo dd if=debian-12.11.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso of=/dev/sda bs=4M status=progress
