You have one already built into Nautilus.  Go to Places | CD/DVD
Creator.  Select the files you want to burn, click write to disk, then
select either your DVD drive, or File Image.  Writing to an ISO file is
no different than using ZIP or RAR or any of the other archive formats,
and ISO files have the advantage of being mountable, like this

mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop /path/somefile.iso /dir/subdir
