This has nothing to do with MDK per se; check out the HOW-TO, but the
short answer is that you need
mkisofs and cdrecord
or something like that.
BUT!! MDK7.0 has a corrupt version mkisofs as originally shipped, so be
sure you upgrade that from cooker or someplace. You can download a test
program from my home page to verify if you have a bad version of mkisofs
or not.
