Make ISO images in Ubuntu command line

Hate to use all that fancy graphical programs, that have just too many functions?
Luckily, there is a nifty command line tool available: genisoimage.

Install it with the following command in Terminal:

sudo apt-get install genisoimage

Use it with this command (make an iso out of entire directory):

genisoimage -o OUTPUT.iso INPUTDIRECTORY/

(*Note, you can name the .iso anything you like.)

Or this (make an iso out of selected files):

genisoimage -o OUTPUT.iso INPUTFILE1 INPUTFILE2 INPUTFILE3 

Here are the examples:

geniso image -o mymovies.iso /home/user/mymoviesdirectory/

geniso image -o mymovies.iso clip1.mov clip2.mov clip3.mpg clip4.avi
