====== Commands for ISO handling ======

A lot of dvd/cd burning programs exists for Linux.
Here is the ones I use for Fedora.

===== Burn a ISO image to DVD-RW =====

Find the scanbus device
  cdrecord -scanbus
  
If a RW media is used it needs to be erased:
  cdrecord blank=fast dev=5,0,0
Use the device found with scanbus

Finally burn the media:
  cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=5,0,0 image.iso
Use the device found with scanbus and the image you want to burn

===== Burn a ISO image (GUI) =====

If you prefer GUI you can use k3b. The KDE DVD & CD Kreator 

  k3b &

===== Another command line option =====

Delete content:
  dvd+rw-format -force=fast /dev/dvdrw1 

Burn image:
  growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw1=image.iso -speed=4
