I use a cron script that runs at night which pipes the results of mkisofs into cdrecord. This works fine as long as the files don't change during the burning process. Something like this:
mkisofs -v -R /data | cdrecord -v fs=12 speed=4 dev=ATA:1,1,0 -
If your a competent script writer (I'm not) you could improve on this by creating the iso first, burn it, then delete the iso image. That would nearly eliminate any chance of files changing.
With an intermediate step, you can also compress the image. The linux kernel can later mount the compressed cdrom or dvd transparently. I don't know if any gui can do that. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
