Burn DVD on Linux

There is a front-end to mkisofs and dvdrecord:

growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J .


mkisofs flags:


Dot means everything in the current directory.

growisofs -M /dev/scd0 -R -J .


Make a disk image of size 4.7Gb:

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=backup.raw

The alternative is X-CD-Roast with updated version of cdrecond (cdrecord.prodvd) both DVD+R and DVD-R media.
