You could always read the man pages for mkisofs and cdrecord. :-P

To create a CD image using mkisofs, add the -o option
(example: mkisofs -R -J -o cdimage.iso /directory)

To write a CD image using cdrecord, just specify the file name
(example: cdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -v- cdimage.iso)

I'm not too sure how reliable it is to use a pipe between the two; I 
would be worried that using a pipe would make a buffer underrun more 
likely.
