As title really, I want to be able to burn files on my ubuntu server straight to dvd. Is there a command or bit of software on the repoistory I can use to do this?

I've been googling but can't see a straight forward answer.

Thanks in advance.

Ah, if you're sticking to the shell then don't bother with k3b, just use cdrecord (don't worry it burns DVDs as well as CDs ;))

Have a read of the man page, or the following should work...

Code:
cdrecord -v -dao speed=4 dev=/dev/dvd /path/to/file

You'll need to change the parameters according to your environment, of course.
