11 There is nothing special about a DVD ISO. Just make an ISO
12 9660-compatible image with whatever data you want (in fact, neither a
13 DVD nor CD needs to contain a ISO 9660 file system at all). I usually
14 do something very similar to:
15
16 mkisofs -o dvdimage.iso -J -r datadir/
17
18 Then you can burn this "pre-mastered" image using (see growisofs man
19 page):
20
21 growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=dvdimage.iso
22
23 This should be roughly equivalent to:
24
25 growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd -J -r datadir/
