Creating CD/DVD

These pages talk about how to create CD's and DVD via command line tools.

Here are the command line tools I use once I have a dvd directory hierarchy ready.

Once you have created the all the files needed for the Dvd you can use

sudo mkisofs -o ~/mydvd.iso -dvd-video MY_DVD_TOP_LEVEL

That will create a file that you can then burn to the dvd with

sudo growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdrw4=mydvd.iso

(Note you will need to use a different device, probably /dev/dvd or /dev/dvdrw)

that will burn the image to the dvd and it should be ready to play!
