Since you've been so forthcoming, let me push my luck (and be a little bit lazy), what would the command be for mkisofs if I just want to burn a data DVD?
For example, I have a whole bunch of data I want to archive onto DVDs. So let's say I have: directory/data1 directory/data2 directory/data3 directory/data4 What would the command be to to burn data1 and data2 directories to a DVD? Thanks for all your assistance. I am interested in burning some old home movies to, so at some point I'll have to tackle how to create the dvd video files.
