wodim

Command (aliased as cdrecord on some systems) for recording data to CDs or DVDs. Some invocations of wodim can cause destructive actions, such as erasing all the data on a disc.

  • Display optical drives available to wodim:

wodim --devices

  • Record ("burn") an audio-only 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}}
