Writing CDs/DVDs/BDs needs additional privileges that would cause a security 
problem in case you try to encapsulate the burning process into a native 
library.

The clean and secure way is to call cdrecord, as cdrecord has been audited for 
security, which is not the case for an application that uses a burn library.
