   so i just ran this search...   
      
   https://www.google.com/search?q=linux+command+line+burn+files+to+dvd   
      
   this was the first result listed...   
      
   https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-b

   the above are raw manual solutions but there are also command line text tools   
   like "burn" and "cdw" that might be helpful...   
      
   here's another one that reads like a good solution... it uses tools mentioned   
   above...

   but i think the first result above will have more information that you need   
   since one of the examples shows specifically specifying one or more paths...   
      
   also don't forget that if you want LFNs to work on both *nix and winwhatever,   
   you need to use rock ridge and joliet formats so each system can properly read   
   the LFNs... this may also depend on the tool you use... if you don't care   
   about being able to read on winwhatever, you can leave off joliet...   
      
   in any case, i hope the initial search link helps...
