Are you burning an already-existing ISO image, or taking files that
exist on your filesystem and putting those on a CD? "Burn an ISO"
typically means the first thing; you have a CD image named
ubuntu_weaselly_walrus_20.0.iso and you're trying to put that on a CD so
you can boot from it and install the distro.

This will probably work. However, it's usually a better idea to use
cdrecord or growisofs so that they can turn Burn-Proof on with ioctl()s
and give you better error reporting than dd will.

growisofs is intended for DVDs. I've always used cdrecord for CDs, but
I started burning CDs back when you had to use ide-scsi emulation. The
first CD-R* or DVD-R* device should be visible as /dev/sr0 or /dev/scd0
, and writing to this device will not be possible unless your user is in
the right group (often "cdrom".)
