Make image

mkisofs -r -o /tmp/var-www-disk1.iso /var/www

burn image

growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/tmp/var-www-disk1.iso

edit the commands to suit your needs

You can do it all in one step:

Code:

growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:32m -Z /dev/dvdrw -graft-points -rational-rock -full-iso9660-filenames -iso-level 2 /source/directory/goes/here

Nice of everyone to tell you how to make an iso image of files already on your PC

Unless I miss-read your post -

To create an iso image of the disc in your drive -
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/path/to/image.iso bs=2048

/dev/sr0 is the location of your DVD drive.

To burn the iso image -
cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 speed=8 fs=32m -v -eject /path/to/image.iso

dd command is easier.
@sunil,
If you are running fedora ,right click the dvd directory, you will get an option.

You caqn use ISOMaster, it's what I use to maintain my custom Damn Small Linux CD. In fedora, run yum install isomaster
Dissect another ISO leaving all the ISOLINUX related files, and then edit isolinux.cfg to set it up right.
Hope this helps.
