Thanks for reporting this problem. It seems that only affects the 32-bit systems.
Tomorrow (Sunday) I deal with this issue and I publish a fix. Please be patient until then.

I just installed the stable version from the PPA onto my Ubuntu 14.04 64bit system and the convert to .iso option is greyed out for me as well.

Probably one of the conditions is not satisfied, so the ISO conversion is not possible.
- Image size smaller than 4 GiB
- The free space size in working directory is greater than twice the size of the image plus 100 MiB
- The .iso file does not exist (so the conversion has not happened yet)

I was attempting to make a Live disk of my current system.
I ended up with a tar file that is called john-14.04.sblive and is 32 GiB.
The working directory is ~/
Yes there is roughly 410 GiB free space in ~/

Basically what I want is to be able to make a bootable DVD from the file I have created. Is this possible? If so, can you point me in the right direction please?

32 GiB is too large, the ISO limit is 4 GiB (and does not exist 32 GiB DVD). You can reduce your image size if you do not include user data files (or use Exclude menu).
Please do not choose your own directory to working directory (and it is basically not possible). Use '/home' or other external directory.
But this image is usable if you run from USB stick. Just write it to pendrive with Systemback internal writer.

Yeah I was thinking that the program would compress everything to less than 4GiB.

Thank you for the advice.
I'll try again leaving out the user data and making sure the file is saved to /home/ not ~/
