Use cdrecord to write CD media, use growisofs to write DVD media, examples;

to write some files; growisofs -Z[M] -dvd-compat /dev/hdc /path/to/files

to write an ISO image; growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=the_ISO_filename_here

See 'man growisofs' for the details and other options. Adjust the commands to match your hardware, hint: ls -l /dev/cdrom
