why not do it using cgi, to give a web interface? most people are familiar 
with this, it's easy enough to write, and perl is a good language for 
scripting command line tools like cdrecord.

also, the interface could then be made available on other machines - you could 
just copy an iso to the right directory on the shared fileserver, put a disk 
in the burner machine, then open the web page, choose which iso to burn, 
press a button and it would start cdrecord. The output could be shown by 
making part of the page a subframe with a 5 second page refresh on it.
