how to create iso9660 archive.

[William Mattison]

(fedora-18, all desktops)

I would like to burn a single dvd with an ISO9660 - Rock Ridge - Joliet file made from:
* /home/user1/project17/
* /home/user2/project17/
* /home/user2/.hidden/
Each of these directories has multiple levels of subdirectories.  user1 and user2 each has other directories directly under his $HOME directory.  I tried to use "Brasero" to do this.  But the ISO file it created was a mere 71.7 KB, though these three directories contain over 600 MB of files.  I get the impression that the tool only looked one level below what I dragged to the right side of the screen.  I need it to go all the way down, like a "cp -r".  On my old Redhat 9 system, X-CD-Roast handled that beautifully.  I also tried this with another tool whose name I now cannot now recall or find.  It was worse.  How do I do this with Fedora-18?

Thank-you in advance for your help.
Bill.
