Ghost 12 will not allow you to do what you are wanting to do.  This function is available in the old retail version--Ghost 2003.  And it is available in the older corporate version of Ghost 8.xx.  It is probably available in the most current corporate version of Ghost--v11.x--these are all DOS based Ghost versions

Retail Ghost 9, 10, Save & Restore, and now Ghost 12 are Windows based programs and do not have the ability to create a bootable optical disc with a recovery image on it.

You must boot from the Ghost 12 Recovery Disk to the Ghost Recovery Environment--a Windows PE environment, not a DOS environment--and access a stored image on a DVD from there.

G8dnitez, it is functionally possible to accomplish the objective you are seeking with Norton Ghost 12, but not in quite the way you stated.

As noted by NightOwl, you can, for example, create a recovery point (aka “image”) of one or more drives (aka partitions), and subsequently burn the resulting .V2I files onto DVDs.  Later, when needed, you can boot the PC using the Symantec Recovery Disk (aka recovery environment), and restore using those DVD discs.  Not exactly what you were asking, to be sure; but, essentially the same from an operational perspective.
