Although I cause havock sometime due to my agressive nature, I am
working on it. 
I have many expertise in your department of CD/DVD writing.

in my opinion the best app for linux CD/DVD writing is K3b. 
You can download it from K3b.org.
Its dependancies are, well lots of work but I will lay it out for you.

First you need to download from livna.org and freshrpms.net.
I dont suggest you use sourceforge if you are new, it drives me nuts
sometimes.

If my memory serves me correctly I got my deps from livna.org and
freshrpms.net

Create a folder called K3B
then create 4 sub folders called
Flac
libid3
id3
libmad

download the following into the respective folders.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/k3b/k3b-0.11.6.tar.bz2

save to K3B

Then go to Livna.org
and download 
libmad 
limad-devel 

Then to freshrpms.net amd download


libid3tag [freshrpms]
libid3tag-devel [freshrpms]

id3lib[freshrpms]
id3lib-devel[freshrpms]

flac-devel[freshrpms]

Cool!
open a terminal [right click open space on your desktop and select new
terminal]
Then type
su - [switch user root]

cd to the K3b dir and then into each dir to install packages.

You must first install the main package then the devel. 

rpm -ivh pacackage.rpm
rpm -ivh package-devel.rpm

If you get a dependancy issue probably just the one asking for the
other, just read the error message it will tell you.
If so then use the nodeps I did have force one them I cant remeber which
just add the --force option after the --nodeps option
rpm -ivh --nodeps package.rpm

Once all the packages are installed then cd .. back to the k3b dir.

run
bunzip k3b-0.11.6.tar.bz2
then 
tar -xvf k3b-0.11.6.tar
cd to the new dir 
k3b-0.11.6
and run 
./configure
make 
make clean [optional]
make install
restart X
and you should have the Icons in you menu or you could just type k3b in
a terminal.

If you use gnome the you may want to login to KDE and run k3bsetup2 but
I have never needed to!

Good luck if you need assistance please shout!.
