But those are available on the network only.  That package does not
exist on the debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso image.  It does not exist
there because non-free is not part of Debian due to not meeting the
DSFG.  Therefore non-free cannot be searched in that iso.  Adding
non-free to that one sources.list line will produce errors.  Which is
why I didn't list it on that line.

And you do say that those are available on the Internet.  But the OP
has specificially said that he wants to use the iso images as a first
preference.  The network will need to be a seconf preference.
