Such a script might be on the DVD and basically be an elaboration, 
perhaps with GUI, of
for D in *.iso
  do read -p "Insert a new CD, press <enter> when ready "
   cdrecord -eject -sao $D
   echo Label that disk $(basename $D .iso)
  done

I haven't tried live CDs, apart from Knoppix and recently a Ubuntu I 
know how they work, and one needs a generous amount of RAM. The Ubuntu 
live CD thrashed and thrashed and thrashed.
