If you've already got the .iso file created, you can probably use cdrecord
to burn it directly to the DVD with cdrecord like this:

cdrecord -v --eject -dao file.iso

Where -v and --eject are optional for verbose output, and to eject the dvd
when done. -dao is required though, as the default is to burn in track at
once mode I think, which doesn't work for dvds.
