I believe you'd actually be looking into growisofs if you want to do
DVD...  It doesn't make sense to write an image of a partition (hda1) to
DVD since the file system won't be ISO... As Tom said, create an ISO
filesystem and then copy /images/TestCase_hda1.img to it.  Then mount
/mnt/{dvdrom}/TestCase_hda1.img when you need to analyze the filesystem.

You'd probably be better off creating an ISO filesystem
containing your image file (or image file segment), and
then burning that to disc.

Take a look at the manpage for mkisofs (8).

Has anybody used a DVD burner to make archival copies of images on a
linux-based forensic computer?

What I imagine doing is dumping an image to a DVD(s) after an analysis
is over so that the image can be archived for an indefinite period of
time.  I'd think I could use something like "dd
if=/images/TestCase_hda1.img | dvdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -data -".
Obviously
that doesn't work or I wouldn't be asking the question.

Once I get that working, then I'm gonna want to be able to burn larger
images to multiple dvds using some combination of the skip and count
switches...but one thing at a time;)
