I got this from google:

pushd $topdir
mkisofs \
    -J \
    -R \
    -v \
    -T \
    -o $iso \
    -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
    -c isolinux/boot.cat \
    -no-emul-boot \
    -boot-load-size 4 \
    -boot-info-table \
    .

popd


$topdir is the root directory of the cdrom, $iso is the output iso
file, e.g. dvd.iso
