If you downloaded the jigdo images you already have them as iso's.
So you only have to burn them using cdrecord.

cdrecord -v dev=yourdevice speed=yourspeed -eject your-debian-iso.

You only need the -blank option if you are burning on to rw cds
I suggest using the -v (verbose) option and -eject so the cdr will mount 
properly for checking after the burn.

Also, you did check the md5sum of the iso's after downloading them didn't you?
