Linux has a nice multitasking. If unsure about the capacities of your specific hardware, then test it without the risk to waste dozen of media: in a terminal run cdrecord -v -dummy /path/to/ISO-image-file You then will see the buffer values during the burn process and other messages from events. Choose a bigger ISO image like one of the Fedora CD set to have much time to experiment with applications during the burn test. The "-dummy" parameter is important, because it causes cdrecord to not use the laser of the writer. cdrecord --help will tell you further helpful commands.
