I've been using Nero in Windows to burn GC ISOs made with my Viper Extreme successfully, but now I want to burn them on my Linux machine. I run Gnome and Nautilus, so I tried simply right-clicking on the ISO and selecting write to disk. Of course, it says "Not a valid disc image".

Has anyone found Linux software (command-line or GUI either one is fine) that will burn GC ISOs to Mini-DVD?

Thanks!

Alright, I tried a few things that didn't work but finally landed on k3b. It's a KDE app (I run GNOME), but seems to do the job. It warns about the image not being ISO-9660 or whatever, but I told it to continue anyway and the disc works fine in my cube.

I am a computer science/engineering double major and linux advocate. Yes, K3b is a good solution for burning in linux, and is basicly a tie to command line apps (growisofs is the default for burning discs, on most distros). k3b is just a KDE GUI front end for many burning untilities. Go to 'configure k3b' and check out all the binaries it references. You can see their purpose and usage by typing:
Quote:
$ man utilityname
in the bash shell (where $ is a prompt, you do not type this, and utilityname is one of the programs it uses).
