digital images on CD/DVD are ISO...

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...

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...
