Disk burning...the command-line way

Today I needed to burn an iso image to a dvd.  Now that I am using Linux again, I wondered what the command-line way to do this would be.
One solution is to use wodim with a command like:
wodim dev=/dev/cdrw -v -data cd_image.iso
For a more complete run-down of how to do this and other useful tasks like creating an iso, check out this ubuntu help article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning
