I use growisofs to burn a DVD image to the media. From the man page, "growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso." You would change "image.iso" to the name of the iso you want to write to DVD. In my case, I also had to add "-speed=1" for some reason to get good burns. You have to have mkisofs, and its associated programs installed, since growisofs uses it. There is also a CD burning tool in Gnome, but I've never tried it.
