Here are some useful commands for burning DVDs/CDs from the OSX command line.

To burn a DVD (I just made one today), I don't think one could ask for clearer syntax:

         drutil burn /var/tmp/foo.iso      # Burns an ISO image to DVD



I've been using "hdiutil" for years (?) to do this.

e.g. hdiutil burn foo.dmg

hdiutil also makes disk images from folders and converts DMGs to ISO.

e.g. hdiutil create -srcfolder Sites sites.dmg

I thought drutil was new to 10.4, but the manpage says it's been around since 10.3. Fun.

I agree that burning is easier with Terminal, and hdiutil is your friend.
