Ubuntu – How to make an ISO from a disc

You can mount them in Gnome just by right clicking on them and clicking Archive Mounter.

Sometimes that doesn't work too well. If not:

sudo mount -oloop -tudf,iso9660 [isofile] [directory]

You could try burn the iso file in a terminal with:

1. growisofs

   1. Install dvd+rw-tools:

      sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools
      

   2. Burn iso file:

      growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/image.iso
      

2. cdrecord

   1. Add the CDRTools PPA and install cdrecord:

      PPA description

      This PPA contains builds of CDRTools and Smake. CDRTools has been packaged as a replacement for CDRKit. This may (or may not) solve many CD/DVD burning issues in Ubuntu.

      The CDRTools package builds Cdrecord, which replaces Wodim, and Mkisofs, which replaces Genisoimage. Add the PPA, update your sources and then install cdrecord and mkisofs.

      sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools
      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cdrecord
      

   2. Determine dev for CD / DVD burner:

      cdrecord –scanbus | grep -i cd
      

      Output something like this:

      3,1,0   301) 'Optiarc ' 'DVD RW AD-7173A ' '1-01' Removable CD-ROM
      

   3. Burn iso file:

      cdrecord -v dev=3,1,0 /path/to/image.iso
