Never done it myself, although used to do shell scripting to create DMG 
disk images on OS X, before I purchased a license for DropDMG.

The same command is used for burning and other disk operations:  
hdiutil. Open terminal.app and type

man hdiutil [return]

for the "manual" for hdiutil. Good luck!
