How to burn iso to cd/dvd with cdrecord command line tool in linux

To find your writer dvd/cd devc:


1.) Choose one of the 3:

     $ dmesg | grep writer
     $ dmesg | grep dvd
     $ dmesg | grep cd 

devices output should show for writer ex:

[    6.728467] sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

this shows the device is in sr0 which is in /dev/sr0 so thats the path to use

2.) Another way is to use cdrecord scanbus command line check:

$ cdrecord -scanbus 

output should look:

        6,2,0   602) *
        6,3,0   603) *

        7,5,0   705) *
        7,6,0   706) *
        7,7,0   707) *

so in this the device is the SCSIBUS6 at the path 6,0,0 use that

$ cdrecord -v -sao speed=2 -eject dev=/dev/sr0 /path/to/file.iso

or

$ cdrecord -v -sao speed=2 -eject dev="6,0,0" /path/to/file.iso

***Notes:

- For a dvd.iso use sao or dao for music cd.iso use tao
- Slow speed is the best, try to use 2 as the safe base level config
- If the device cannot write from a speed of 1-4, use 0
