I think Brasero supports all of those. The only thing is I *think* you
may have to have DVD RW's (of - or +) to have multi session support.
I think (and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798680 seems to
agree) that multi-session discs will work with other OS's, but if not
you could give K3B a try as multi-session discs burnt with that
definetely will. However K3B is a KDE app, so you'll have to install the
KDE libraries for it to work in GNOME.
I think the 'Write to Disc' option in Nautilus uses nautilus-burner, and
nautilus-burner doesn't support multi-session burning (see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120384 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-cd-burner/+bug/11264).
To burn an ISO to a disc from the command line, use cdrecord:
e.g, cdrecord -v -pad speed=1 dev=0,0,0 isofile.iso
If you're not using an IDE burner you may have to change the 'dev=' bit.
Contrary to the name, cdrecord does support burning DVD's.
To create an iso from a disc, use dd.
e.g, dd if=/dev/cdrom of=isofile.iso
You could probably also swap the input and output around, and use
dd if=isofile.iso of=/dev/cdrom
to burn an iso to disc.
I'm not sure about multi-session burning, but you could try reading the
man page of cdrecord.
