wodim

Command for record/burning data using a optical drive to CD or DVD. This command is also called cdrecord on some systems, but it is wodim underneath. Some usage of wodim can cause destructive actions, such as erasing all the data on a disc.

• Display optical drives avaliable to wodim:

wodim --devices

• Record pure CD-DA audio to a disc:

wodim dev=/dev/{{optical_drive}} -audio {{track*.cdaudio}}

• Burn a file to a disc, ejecting the disc once done (some recorders require this):

wodim -eject dev=/dev/{{optical_drive}} -data {{file.iso}}

• Burn a file to the disc in an optical drive, potentially writing to multiple discs in succession:

wodim -tao dev=/dev/{{optical_drive}} -data {{file.iso}}
